A comparison was made of the Rorschach responses and the Human Figure Drawings of a group of 21 adult Down's syndrome Ss and the responses of a group of 21 other adult mentally retarded persons (non-Down's syndrome group). (Author)

The present study investigated the degree of accuracy of five groups of judges in inferring pathology in human figure drawings. It was suggested that intuition gained through several years of unsystematic observation of figure drawings played the major role in their interpretation. (Author)

The prediction was borne out that children with inadequate impulse control would be found to have inadequate self-esteem and that the association would strengthen with age. Contrary to expectation, the association between impulse control and self-esteem was not stronger for girls than for boys. (Author/PC)

This paper reports on an experiment examining sex differences in the types and meanings of emotional responses to a particular projective test: May's deprivation/enhancement measure (D/E), which is seen as an index of gender identity. The measure consistently differentiates males and females, which May felt reflected both physiological and…

This study evaluated the factor structure of the Rorschach Prognostic Rating Scale (RPRS) in order to: (a) test the assumption that the RPRS represents a unitary response system and (b) determine the efficacy of employing population specific factor scores as predictors of therapy outcome. (Author/NG)

One of the most persistent problems in the use of projective techniques is the need to develop objective, reliable and valid scoring systems. The sample consisted of 100 college students enrolled in an introductory psychology course. Ss were administered the DAPIR along with an extensive biographical questionnaire. Additionally, Ss were rated by…

All pairs of Rorschach inkblots were scaled for perceived similarity by one normal and two psychopathological samples. The resulting data were analyzed using Carroll and Chang's INDSCAL model, which resulted in a good fit in two dimensions. These were interpreted as a dimension of color and one of form ("twoness").

Investigated student perceptions of occupational congruency using Holland's realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional personality and environment types. Four levels of person-environment congruency were established from the hexagonal ordering of the types. Student perceptions of congruent activities, values,…

This research sought to determine what personality characteristics are associated with prejudice toward women, and given the reality of such characteristics, what is the functional, personal value of this prejudice. This paper reports on the results of a series of correlational studies intended to answer these questions using a variety of…
