The MCDI is a color-based scale that measures depressive tendencies that may originate from childhood experiences and family environment. It consists of 4 domains that examine socio-demographic factors, childhood experiences, associating family members with colors, and associating childhood experiences with colors. The examiner interprets the scale based on the positivity or negativity of the colors chosen and looks for patterns between memories and colors to indicate if the person shows tendencies of depression from their childhood. The scale aims to trace the roots of depression without other environmental influences.

The MCDI is a color test that measures depressive tendencies of people that may be rooted down to their childhood years.
Depression is an affective disorder which may be unipolar or bipolar. Bipolar depression is characterized by mania followed by depression. Depressive lifestyle is also very common especially in adolescents.
Diathesis – Stress Model of Depression The diathesis – stress model is a model associated with depression which assumes that depression may be affected genetically and through the exposure to specific environments. This scale focuses on the measurement of depression through the familial environment and childhood experiences. Certain exposures to people and events may have triggered the onset of a depressive tendency. Depression could be an onset during childhood.

The MCDI measures a person’s tendency for depression that may be rooted down to that person’s childhood. The scale will only measure the depression tendency that may be from familial experiences. It rules out stressors that may be acquired from peer relationships and other environmental factors outside the family.
The MCDI is a scale which consists of four domains. Each domain measures an aspect of a person’s life which could help the examiner determine the stressors that may lead to the manifestation of depression. The four domains are: •Socio-Demographic Factors •Childhood Experiences •Family Members Color Codes •Childhood Experiences Color Codes
•Contains 7 items for the age, birthday, sex, gender, civil status, socio-economic Socio-demographic Factors status and occupation •Name and contact details are optional •Provides response options of Yes or No to Childhood Experience 10 items that measure the developmental environment the child had •Contains 9 family members which the participant would correlate to colors Family Members Color Codes •Comments will be written down by the examiner •Contains 13 childhood events that the participant would correlate to colors Childhood Experiences Color Codes •Comments will be written down by the examiner
The Color Codes Red 1 2 Orange Green 3 4 Blue Pink 5 6 Yellow Violet 7 8 Gray Black 9 10 White
COLOR POSITIVE NEGATIVE Warmth, love, boldness, excitement, speed, Anger, danger, aggression, RED strength, energy, determination, desire, morbidity, obsession passion, courage cheerfulness, low cost, affordability, ORANGE Pessimism, superficiality enthusiasm, stimulation, creativity, food durability, reliability, environmental, luxurious, optimism, well-being, nature, calm, GREEN Possessiveness relaxation, Spring, safety, honesty, optimism, harmony, freshness peace, professionalism, loyalty, reliability, Melancholia, boredom, BLUE honor, Winter, depth, stability, coldness, conservatism, professionalism, honor, trust frigidity
COLOR POSITIVE NEGATIVE PINK Love, nurturing Immature, silly Comfort, liveliness, optimism, Attention-grabbing, YELLOW overwhelm, Summer, comfort, cowardliness, hunger, conflict liveliness, intellect, happiness, energy Royalty, nobility, elegance, VIOLET sophistication, artificial, luxury, Mystery, power, impractical royalty, elegance, magic conservatism, traditionalism, GRAY Serious, dull, uninteresting intelligence
COLOR POSITIVE NEGATIVE Elegance, sophistication, formality, Death, illegality, depression, BLACK strength morbidity, night, absence Cleanliness, purity, newness, virginity, WHITE peace, innocence, simplicity, sterility, Cold, death, emptiness snow, ice, cold, new
The first part of the scale is a measure of the socio- demographic profile of the participant. The socio- demographic profile supports the assumption due to the disposition of the person and also due to the normalcy of the person’s state. Items such as the sex, gender and socio- economic status can be factors to measure the disposition of the person.
The second domain surveys the familial environment the person grew up to. It paints a general picture of the person’s childhood – whether it was admirable to the person or not. Items regarding the parents and who brought up the person were asked to correlate to general answers from the experiences in domains 3 and 4.
The third domain is when the interviewer starts administering the projective test. The interviewer will be asking the participant to associate a color with a family member. From there, the interviewer may ask specific questions of why the participant chose the certain color. The interviewer must remind the participant that projection of a certain color may not be instantaneous, they can think thoroughly of the color and the memory they want to reveal.
The last domain associates the person’s childhood experiences to a certain color. In this domain, patterns may already be recognized, therefore making vivid associations between memory and color.
The scale is measured through norming. The projective test is generally interpreted by the examiner. Guides for measuring the stories of the participant are evaluated by the polarity of the colors. Positive and negative indications are given and the examiner traces connections between the nature of the colors.
Scoring •Arrange the polarity of colors (determine the light and dark colors) •Check the dominance of the color in the answers •10 – darkest; 1- lightest •3rd domain: 70-90 strong tendency for depression experienced in the family; 40-69 moderate tendency for depression; 9-39 no to light tendency for depression •4th domain: 70-130 strong tendency for depression experienced in childhood development; 30-69 moderate tendency for depression; 13- 29 no to light tendency for depression •Evaluate depressive tendency for domains 3 and 4 •Correlate to domain 2 (question 15) •Examiner’s interpretation are highly involved
SIGNIFICANCE AND APPLICATION The scale may be used to trace tendencies of depression of a certain person. This may be used as a tool to trace if depressive tendencies may be due to childhood experiences or environment. This scale can rule out certain contaminants such as the influences of peers. Examiners may use the scale to assess a person’s childhood development and indicate if there have been depressive tendencies and if so, be able to monitor the behavior of the individual. The scale is significant because it is the first scale which indicates depressive tendencies through a color test. This is considered an advantage because projective tests may reveal more about the person than standardized tests.
