A systematic scoring procedure included (a) the analysis of roles (reflected by figures in the subjects and predicate objects), (b) the interactions and relationships among them (reflected by the verb and adverbial descriptions), and (c) the affect (reflected throughout sentence components). As compared to normal boys, this procedure revealed antisocial boys to have stories more verbally constricted, characters more physically aggressive but less nurturant and conforming, heroes more clearly labeled, and the affective reactions of characters more limited in the expression of positive feelings. The discrimination of these attributes depended greatly upon the stimulus value of the cards: the self-image cards exceeded those concerned with control of aggression, attitude toward authority and relationship capacity.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 3","pages":"204-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380235","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16514274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of this method for psychodiagnostic appraisal is demonstrated by a matching experiment in which detailed personality reports based solely on the word-association sentences were compared with similar reports prepared independently from other clinical data. Of the three psychologists matching the reports, two correctly matched all 20 pairs, while the third did so with 15.

This assumption was re-examined by partial replication of a study using a sentence completion test (SCT). Although a significant correlation was found between the SCT need-for-achievement responses of college freshmen and their cumulative grade-point averages (p <.05), the expected direction of the correlation was reversed, so that affectively negative SCT responses were associated with high grades. Correlations of grades with the self-concept and learning-attitudes scales of the SCT were not significant. Further, none of the scale scores correlated significantly with composite scores on a commonly used measure of college aptitude.

The model is an integration of the characteristics of the actuarial principles of test construction with the experimental method. The experimental method should prove to be effective in controlling the error variance arising out of the accidental influences on the responses, and the actuarial paradigm should reduce the error stemming from both a possible low construct validity and the subjectivity of the clinician's judgment. The resultant increase in the clinician's power to differentiate between responses indicative of enduring traits and those which are the outcome of accidental influences should thus help in breaking the impasse currently restricting the usefulness of projective techniques.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 2","pages":"83-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15501672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
