Word association (WAT) and ink blot (IBT) tests were given to hospitalized patients and to college student controls under three instructional sets, namely, free association, instructions to produce popular responses, and instructions to produce original responses. The results showed a significant effect of instructions on WAT popular responses and WAT original responses, as well as on IBT popular responses. Latency measures on both instruments were also significantly affected. Only the IBT popular responses, however, differentiated the two groups, and the predicted interactions of instructions and psychopathology were not obtained for any measure.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 2","pages":"113-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380219","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15501671","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}

(1967a) The 25 Ss employed in this study were administered the FIRO-B Questionnaire, given a brief lecture on the theory behind the instrument and then directed to estimate their scores on the three FIRO-B dimensions. Rank order correlations were calculated between the measured and estimated scores. Contrary to Kramer's findings only one of the six resulting coefficients attained significance at or beyond the .05 level of confidence. A recent finding in the estimated and measured test score approach to test validation studies, namely scale relevance to individual Ss, was proposed as a possible explanation for the inconsistent results.

These factors were tentatively described as: middle class good adjustment, fast performance, sullen silence, lack of task orientation, inefficient communication, hostile interaction, and dependency. It is hoped that these factors may form the basis for a tentative system for classifying families which is less determined by considerations of psychiatric diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 1","pages":"55-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380205","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59007781","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}
