An Analysis of The Handwriting of Elderly Chinese Subjects.Liu, Dongfang 07 May 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Nowadays, one of the issues of concern that brought on by the aging population is legal disputes that have been increasing in number every year. One core problem in these legal disputes involves handwriting identification. There are however not many previous studies in China that have been concentrated on this field. Hence, the study on elderly Chinese subjects' handwriting has an extremely broad potential value for its application for academic usage and practical meaning. This study uses an empirical technique, gathering first hand data and analysing them by employing proper methods. There are 7 handwriting features and characteristics that have been found in the study to represent the key characteristics of the elderly Chinese subjects' handwriting. They are: Pen pressure, occurrence rate of traditional Chinese words, letter size, poor structure, tremor, half-way stop sign, and towing sign at beginning and end of strokes.

The viability of graphology in psycho-educational assessmentCronje, Pierre Etienne 06 1900 (has links)
Handwriting as a unique expression of human behaviour has evoked continuous
interest as a means of analyzing and studying personality – a study known as
Graphology.
Research in graphology has shown diverse results, ranging from negative to
highly favourable. Many of the studies disregarding the value of graphology can
be criticized on the grounds of their research methodology as well as the method
used in handwriting analysis, namely the ‘trait-method’ whereby isolated
graphological features are simplistically linked to personality as opposed to a
more encompassing, holistic approach.
In the present study the special link between personality and graphology is
illustrated as well as the decisive influence the gestalt and form standard of a
writing have on the interpretation of that particular writing. The approach to the
graphological analyses was holistic, as it complements the complex uniqueness
of personality.
The study also focuses on the recommended methodology of handwriting
analysis, by offering a tailor-made personality ‘picture’ of the individual.
Graphological findings were compared to the clinical findings of the same
client/patient according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Diseases IV-TRTM (DSM-IV-TRTM).
Five (5) case studies have been reported in this qualitative research study. The
analyses of the writings were done by an independent graphologist. The
objective graphological findings show similarities with clinical findings of the
same clients/patients.
The holistic approach to handwriting analysis deems to have diagnostic value
and is promising in providing guidelines for psychotherapy. Graphology can thus
be regarded as a useful and viable tool in psycho-educational assessment. / Education / D.Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Standardisation of the seven graphology factors scale for application in industryElliott, Charmaine Adelina Eliot 06 1900 (has links)
The 7 Graphology Factors Scale is standardised for application in industry. A literature
study based on the personality theories of Freud, Jung, Murray and Cattell precedes
the empirical research. Graphology is conceptualised, relevant existing graphology
models are explored and a graphology theory and method for use in industry proposes
that graphology should be regulated and applications classified on the same basis as
psychometric tests.
The empirical research is based on a sample comprising 360 subjects, stratified
according to gender, position and language. The written protocol is subject to analysis
of 59 characteristics on the basis of the configuration of the writing. language is
irrelevant and the presentation of an intervening stimulus is avoided. Factor analysis
results in eight secondary factors. These are I Task Orientation - Directive, II Task
Orientation- Conscientious, Ill Emotional Stability, IV Extroversion, V Independence,
VI Conceptualisation, VII Openness to Experience and VIII Need for Power. Cronbach's
alpha coefficient achieves 0, 61 for Factor I. Stepwise regression analysis provides
correlations between factors of the Thematic Apperception, Structured Objective
Rorschach and 16 Personality Factor tests with all but Factor Ill, which is hypothesised
to be a new construct. Five of the factors are hypothesised to align with the Big Five
Personality Model. Thr9e-way analysis of variance, t-tests and the Mantei-Haenszel
tests are applied to establish differentiation based on the stratification criteria. Norm
tables based on Indigenous, English and Afrikaans first language groups are provided
in stens and bands.
Conclusions are that graphology has a worthy theoretical heritage and offers benefits
to the psychological profession and specifically industry, as part of an assessment
strategy. limitations are outlined and recommendations are made for further research. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / D.Litt. et Phil. (Industrial Psychology)

Verifikace rukopisu a podpisu / Handwriting and Signature VerificationBeránek, Jan January 2010 (has links)
This paper concerns methods of verification of person's signature and handwriting. Some of commonly used techniques are resumed and described with related literature being referred. Next aim of this work is design and implementation of a simple handwriting verification application. Application is based on edge detection and comparison of a set of structural and statistical features. As a support classification tool a SVM classifier of the LIBSVM software is employed. The Application is written in C language using OpenCV graphics library. Testing and training set was extracted from samples found in the IAM Handwriting Database. Application was created and tested in the Windows XP operating system.
