인간이 그린 그림은 자신의 심리적 상태와 성격, 정서적인 갈등과 같이 자기표현을 나타낸다. 그림을 통해서 색채 정보와 그린 물체의 위치를 통하여 그린 사람의 심리 상태를 파악하고 치료 할 수 있다. 이러한 그림 치료를 통해서 갈등을 조정하고, 자기 표현과 승화 과정을 통해 자아의 성장 과정을 도울 수 있고, 내담자들의 객관적이고 의식적인 서술만으로 파악하기 어려운 문제를 그림을 통해 무의식 세계를 쉽게 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 인간이 그린 그림에서 색채정보와 물체의 위치 정보를 분석하고 퍼지추론 규칙을 이용하여 감성 상태를 파악하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 알슈울러와 해트릭(Alschuler and Hattwick)의 색채에 따른 감성상태와 Grunwald의 그림 표현의 공간 구성에 따른 심리상태에 적용한 결과, 제안된 감성 분석 방법이 효율적인 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the type of ego states and stress coping style on female college students who are in the course of nursing study. This study is performed in the view of Transactional Analysis and designed to scrutinize descriptive correlations between the type of ego states and stress coping style. The subject is consists of 144 freshmen and sophomore, 138 junior and senior students group, who are students of K nursing college located in Seoul. The sampling investigation period is on Sept. 14, 2002 to Oct. 26, 2002. The measuring instrument used for Transactional Analysis ego state is 50 items Ego-gram research paper devised by Dusay(1997). For studying coping style, Folkman & Lazarus's measurement(1984) was adopted, which is translated and modified by Han, and Oh,(1990). Statistic average and standard deviation were generated by using SPSS PC+, t-test and Pearson correlation. The results were as follows: 1) In the type of ego states on both groups(lower group : freshmen, sophomore upper group : junior, senior) indicated the arithmetic apex NP(maximum value), then the point A was high and the data made a down slope to point AC. In the comparison to type of ego states between two groups, only at point CP, the data value of upper year students represented higher than that of lower year ones by C(t=2.28, p=.023). In the psychological energy level of ego states, both groups indicated average level.2) Stress coping style of whole students were highly and affirmatively dedicated to research. Consecutive consequences follow like this(high to low) : the central point of problem, search for social support, hopeful aspect and indifference. Especially hopeful aspect(t=.67, p=.05), relaxation of tension(t=-2.16, p=.03) made significant difference each other in the view of arithmetic calculation 3) While verifying coping style in terms of ego states level between lower and upper students group, In type CP, high level ego states group indicated significant difference on stress coping style area than low leveled group and made such sequences as the central point of problem, hopeful aspect, search for social support, positive interest and relaxation of tension. In type NP, sequences such as the central point of problem, search for social support, positive interest and relaxation of tension were emerged with little differences. In type A, the central point of problem, positive interest and relaxation of tension. In type FC, hopeful aspect, search for social support, positive interest and relaxation of tension. In type AC, hopeful aspect and indifference were derived significantly different(p<.05). 4) In the aspect of relation between ego states and coping style, type CP presented the central point of problem and relaxation of tension, type NP presented positive interest, search for social support and the central point of problem, type A showed the central point of problem, positive interest and relaxation of tension, type FC showed relaxation of tension, positive interest, search for social support, indifference and the central point of problem, type AC showed hopeful aspect, indifference and the central point of problem. All the sequence shown above had high-to-low procedure and represented static relations each other(p<.05).
