Guided drawing dataset with expert-validated psychological traits: Jordanian children aged 6–11 years
Description
This article presents a dataset of guided drawing responses from 216 Jordanian children aged 6–11 years (mean 7.9±1.2 years; 53% female) collected using physical shape templates. Each participant selected predefined geometric shapes for 11 body parts to construct a human figure. Choices were manually recorded by trained research assistants and digitized into a structured table (216 rows × 84 columns) comprising demographics (5 columns), shape selections (11 columns), free-text descriptions (6 columns), and binary psychological trait labels (24 unique traits across 62 columns including duplicates). Three licensed child psychologists assigned trait labels through a three-round Del- phi consensus process, achieving inter-rater reliability of Fleiss κ=0.82. Data were collected across urban schools in Amman (n=146), Zaatari refugee camp (n=45), and schools in Irbid/Mafraq (n=25) between February and De- cember 2024. Missing data rate is 0.76%.
