Abstract:
This study examined the willingness of two diverse groups, 26 juvenile offenders (21 boys, 5 girls) and 26 first-semester college freshmen (12 men and 14 women) to draw on a personal computer.

The analyses indicated no significant differences between the groups in content of drawing.

During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
