The aim of this study was to search criterion validity of evidence to the Human Figure Drawing (HFD) as a form of emotional measure. Also, gender influences and type of school were studied in developing of the drawing. Thus, this study had 91 children from a city of S?o Paulo, 57 girls (62.6%) and 34 boys (37.4%), aged 11 (52.7%) and 12 years old ( 47.3%) who were attending basic education institutions (-47.3% private - and public - 52.7%). The instruments used were: the HDF evaluated by emotional difficulties system developed by Wechsler (2013) and YSR - Youth Self Report. The results obtained in the two instruments were compared by the Pearson correlation for total emotional indicators. The specific items of HFD were compared with the behavioral dimensions of YSR. Differences of gender and type of school were analyzed by analysis of variance. The results showed no significant correlation between total emotional indicators in the drawings and in the total of YSR there being no validity by external criteria. 4 items showed significant positive correlations and 7 items showed significant negative correlations. The results suggest the need to review the indicators taken as emotional as it found no evidence of validity for external criterion when measured according to the obtained total. The conclusion is the need for more studies on the existence of emotional indicators in the design considering that its use is widespread in the professional practice of psychologists. / O Desenho da Figura Humana ? uma das t?cnicas mais utilizadas por psic?logos em n?vel internacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi buscar evid?ncias de validade de crit?rio para o Desenho da Figura Humana (DFH) enquanto forma de medida emocional. Al?m disso, foram estudadas influencias de g?nero e tipo de escola na elabora??o do desenho. Desta forma, este estudo contou com 91 crian?as de uma cidade do interior de S?o Paulo, 57 meninas (62,6%) e 34 meninos (37,4%),com idades entre 11 (52,7%) e 12 anos (47,3%) que estavam frequentando institui??es de educa??o b?sica (particulares -47,3% - e p?blicas - 52,7%). Os instrumentos utilizados foram: DFH avaliado pelo sistema de dificuldades emocionais elaborado por Wechsler (2013) e YSR Youth Self Report - Invent?rio de Auto-Avalia??o para Jovens. Os resultados obtidos nos dois instrumentos foram comparados pela correla??o de Pearson pelos totais de indicadores emocionais. Os itens espec?ficos do DFH foram comparados com as dimens?es comportamentais do YSR. As diferen?as de g?nero e tipo de escola foram analisadas pela An?lise de Vari?ncia. Os resultados encontrados apontaram n?o existir correla??es significativas entre totais de indicadores emocionais no desenho e nos totais do YSR n?o existindo, portanto validade dos indicadores emocionais no DFH por crit?rio externo. Quatro itens apresentaram correla??es positivas significativas, por?m baixas, e 7 itens apresentaram correla??es negativas significativas entre o DFH e YSR. Os resultados encontrados sugeriram a necessidade de revis?o dos indicadores no DFH tidos como emocionais j? que n?o foram encontradas evid?ncias de validade por crit?rio externo Conclui-se a necessidade de mais estudos sobre a exist?ncia de indicadores emocionais no desenho considerando que seu uso ? bastante difundido na pr?tica profissional de psic?logos.
