H Ratio

Aliases

• H ratio
• H:(H)+Hd+(Hd)
• human image ratio

Definition

H_ratio compares whole human content with partial or imagined human content. In Self Perception, it helps show whether the image of self and others rests more on whole, realistic human figures or on partial, imagined, or less integrated figures.

Interpretation

• If H carries more weight, human representation may rest on a more complete and better integrated base.
• If (H), Hd, or (Hd) dominate, the human image may feel more partial, idealized, or fragmented.
• Read together with HumanCont and PureH, it helps estimate the quality of general human representation.
• If PHR is high and H_ratio is unfavorable, human representations may look more tense or damaged.

Cautions

• If total human content is very low, the ratio becomes less stable.
• Hx is not formally part of the ratio, although it still matters as context.
• It should be read cautiously in artistic, highly symbolic, or culture-shaped responses.

Cautions

• H_ratio does not define self-esteem or mood by itself.
• It should be read together with MOR_self, HumanCont, GHR, and PHR.

Variables to Review Together

• HumanCont
• PureH
• GHR
