Abstract
It is rare to measure the psychological value of a person easily. However, if it is possible to measure it, it should be very useful for us to communicate with the physically handicapped persons and the persons who are not good at expressing their emotions feelings in hospitals and schools. If you can easily know the psychological value of a child in hospital easily, the child can undergo effective therapy and treatment according to his/her emotions. Under the present conditions, however, the treatments are based on the observation of the child's action and behavior by some nurses, and the tools which can measure the child's emotions have not been developed. The present study aims to develop the tool which can replace the psychological value of emotional change in the child with the physical value's change, and to examine its effectiveness and usefulness.
