This study was conducted to see whether the FKD technique has diagnostic validity in identifying of signs of child abuse. For the research, “favorite kind of day(FKD)”drawings of 577 children from Daegu, Busan, and North Kyungsang provinces in Korea - 295 from institutions which facilitate abused children and 282 from children with no known history of abuse ?were evaluated with various rating criteria. A software program, Statistical Package for Social Science(SPSS) version 19, was used to process and analyze data, testing the results for reliability of scales and inter-raters. With a discriminant analysis used to verify the validity of statistics gathered for the research, the study also applied the cross tabulation analysis to examine the differences in children’s responses to FKD depending on their severity of abuse. The results showed that the abused children drew significantly different FKDdrawings in how many colors and what colors they were predominantly using, what elements of weather movements such as the size of sun and the amount of rain, the existence of dull clouds and lighting they were drawing, and how much space they were filling and how they were filling the space in terms of the thickness and movements of lines. It was found that these variables accounted for 87.2% for the degree of physical abuse and accounted for 87.7% for the degree of emotional abuse. Consequently, the finding implies that the FKD drawing can be a valuable projective tool to detect the degree of abuse of children and adolescents.
