This study was designed to investigate the relationship
between 15 emotional indicators on the Bender-Gestalt Test
and acting-out behavior in young children. The subjects were
93 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years. Each was
administered the Bender. A measure of each subject's overt
acting-out behavior was then obtained by having teachers rate
each student on a Behavioral Rating Scale. Subjects' records
were then divided into groups on the basis of both sex and age.
Results indicated that neither the total number of Bender
indicators nor any of the individual Bender indicators were
significantly correlated with total scores on the rating scale.
Use of the Bender as a projectivefdevice .to measure acting-
out behavior was seriously questioned.
