本研究目的在檢驗Lowenfeld and Brittain所提之兒童繪畫發展階段有無性別差異存在、其與兒童生理年齡發展階段的關聯性、以及其與兒童心智表現的可能相關性。本研究以新竹地區兩所國小及兩所幼稚園學生共計86位5至13歲學童為受試樣本，其中男生47位，女生39位。受試學童分別進行「中華畫人測驗」的施測，以及以「我最快樂的一天」主題繪畫。本研究採用卡方考驗、單因子變異數分析進行資料的分析與檢驗。
本研究結果發現：（一）兒童繪畫發展階段與兒童生理年齡有正向的關係存在，其中被歸類為樣式化前階段與擬似寫真階段兩階段的兒童生理年齡，與Lowenfeld and Brittain的繪畫發展階段年齡一致，但歸類為黨群寫實與樣式化階段兩階段的兒童生理年齡比Lowenfeld and Brittain所提的更為廣泛。（二）兒童繪畫發展階段沒有性別差異的存在。（三）兒童繪畫發展階段與兒童心智之間的表現並沒有相關性。
透過本研究對於兒童繪畫發展和年齡、性別與心智表現之關聯性的初步探討，希望能引起更多相關的研究繼續探究，以進一步促進兒童繪畫可應用範疇。

The main purpose of this study was to examine the possible relationships of an individual’s stage of art development based on the work of Lowenfeld and Brittain with subjects’ age, gender, and intelligence. There were 86 subjects consisted of 5-13 years old students, sampled from two elementary schools and two kindergartens in Hsin-chu city. All subjects were asked to do “Chinese-Draw-A-Man” test, and draw a picture of “A Happy Day.” The obtained data were analyzed by chi-square test and one-way ANOVA.
The findings of this study are as follows: (1) The stage of art development was positively correlated with subjects’ age, in which subjects’ actual ages were consistent with the predicted ages in “pre-schematic stage” and “pseudo-naturalistic stage” of Lowenfeld and Brittain’s theory. Yet, subjects’ actual ages were wider than the predicted ages in “schematic stage” and “gang age stage” of Lowenfeld and Brittain’s theory. (2)No gender differences were found in any stage of art development. (3) No intelligence differences were found in any stage of art development.
