The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of responses in PPAT test depending on
depression and military life adaptation levels of 120 military servicemen serving in military camp in A area.
Results of the analyzed PPAT tests are as following. First, between the depressive group and the
non-depressive group, “implied energy, space, problem solving, logic, realism” the formal elements on the
art therapy scale in the PPAT test, and “apple tree, crown color of apple tree” elements of the content
scale showed statistically significant differences. Second, between the military life adaptive group and the
military life non-adaptive group, “color fit, implied energy, space, problem solving, logic, realism” the
formal elements on the art therapy scale in the PPAT test, and “color used in whole picture, color used for
person, clothing, apple tree, crown and apple color of apple tree” elements of the content scale showed
statistically significant differences. Third, between the non-depressive/military life adaptive group and the
depressive/military life non-adaptive group, “color fit, implied energy, space, problem solving, details of
objects and environment, logic, realism” the formal elements on the art therapy scale in the PPAT test, and
“color used in whole picture, color used for person, clothing, apple tree, crown color of apple tree,
environmental details” elements of the content scale showed statistically significant differences.
