Correlations within groups: Bi-variate scatter plots for the significant variables showed<br />

a reasonably elliptical pattern indicating a normal distribution <strong>of</strong> the data so the validity<br />

<strong>of</strong> the associated hypotheses tests were not violated. <strong>The</strong> non-significant scatter plots<br />

were checked for unusual patterns, which the Pearson's r is likely to underestimate. <strong>The</strong><br />

purpose <strong>of</strong> this analysis was to describe the association <strong>of</strong> the variables from the DAPA<br />

test to provide information for the discussion <strong>of</strong> differences in the results <strong>of</strong> the DAPA<br />

test to those <strong>of</strong> the literature and general expectations. Correlation tables for each<br />

diagnostic group 16-20 measuring (a) colour and (b) structure can be found at the end <strong>of</strong><br />

appendix 2. Summary information is presented here.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were most associations between variables for schizophrenics' paintings, especially<br />

for colour:<br />

1. All colours were correlated with intensity except black and brown.<br />

2. Green was correlated with all colours except black.
