This study investigated the correlation between the existence of depression in married women and their Favorite Kind of Weather (FKW) drawing characteristics. The study participants were 164 married women at ages 20 to 50 residing in the cities: Busan, Changwon, or Kimhae. The research ran from November 11, 2011 until March, 2012. The instruments included Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the FKW test. Data were analyzed using a cross-tab analysis on SPSS 18.0. First, significant differences were found between the non-depression group and depression group in the categories of FKW drawing characteristics such as pen pressure, space use, and degree of space utilization. The depression group showed weaker pen pressure, more use of the space and more use of the left side. Second, significant differences were found between the non-depression group and depression group in the factors such as sun, dark clouds, rain, and weather change. The depression group showed smaller suns, many dark clouds and rains, and more weather change. Third, significant differences were found between the non-depression group and depression group in the color use of gray and black. The depression group used the colors gray and black more than the non-depression group. These findings support the FKW can provide useful data as a screening tool to predict the depression in the married women.
