Framing Bias

Language Bias
The language used is mostly neutral and descriptive; however, the article relies heavily on the psychologist's interpretations, which could be subjective and lack scientific validation.
Bias by Omission

This omission could lead readers to overinterpret their own doodles and draw unwarranted conclusions about their mental health.
False Dichotomy
