Abstract

Abstract: The processometric Consensus Rorschach Test is a method for analyzing the dynamics of couple communication in negotiation-based interactions. We present the development and first psychometric evaluation of the processometric Consensus Rorschach Test II (pCRT-II), which introduces several innovations to previous coding systems. Using the pCRT-II, couple communication can be assessed on dimensions of dominance, constructiveness, and emotional closeness. Intercoder reliability was demonstrated using intraclass correlations in three coders’ 15 pCRT-II protocols. Results showed that trained coders can code the three pCRT-II dimensions reliably. Moreover, we assessed the interactions of 155 heterosexual couples using the pCRT-II. Internal consistency tests of the scores of the three dimensions of the pCRT-II on the 10 Rorschach cards separately aggregated by gender indicated that the reliability of the scales is adequate. We also administered the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) and the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) to a subsample of 134 couples and tested the associations of the scales with the pCRT-II dimensions using the actor–partner interdependence model (APIM). Results demonstrated that pCRT-II has adequate concurrent validity. Based on the findings, the coding system is promising in that it can be used to gain new insights into the functioning of couples by examining their communication processes in detail.

过程计量共识罗夏克测验 (pCRT-II) - 一种改进的评估系统

摘要：过程计量共识罗夏测验是一种分析夫妻在谈判互动中沟通动态的方法。我们介绍了过程计量共识罗夏测验 II（pCRT-II）的开发和首次心理计量评估，该测验对以往的编码系统进行了多项创新。使用 pCRT-II 可以从主导性、建构性和情感亲密度三个维度对夫妻沟通进行评估。三位编码员的 15 份 pCRT-II 协议的类内相关性证明了编码员之间的可靠性。结果表明，训练有素的编码员能够可靠地对 pCRT-II 的三个维度进行编码。此外，我们还使用 pCRT-II 评估了 155 对异性夫妇的互动情况。对按性别分别汇总的 10 张罗夏卡上的 pCRT-II 三个维度的得分进行的内部一致性测试表明，量表的可靠性是充分的。我们还对 134 对夫妻进行了 "夫妻应对量表"（Dyadic Coping Inventory，DCI）和 "夫妻关系评估量表"（Relationship Assessment Scale，RAS）的测试，并使用 "行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型"（actor-partner interdependence model，APIM）检验了这些量表与 pCRT-II 维度之间的关联。结果表明，pCRT-II 具有充分的并发效度。根据研究结果，该编码系统很有前途，因为它可以通过详细研究夫妻的沟通过程，对夫妻的功能有新的认识。
