HE PROBLEM of susceptibility to motion sickT ness has not captured the imagination of psychological thinkers. It is, however, of continuing interest to experimenters involved in studies of disorientation and vestibular functioning. Almost all studies of motion sickness and disorientation have alluded to “underlying personality factors” as contributing something to the variance, but investigator...

In common with other pioneer Rorschach workers in this country, Dr. Mons learnt the hard way, teaching himself by reading, experience, and comparison of notes with colleagues. With his own past tribulations in mind he sets out to smooth the path of beginners in this complex method of personality assessment, and does so with much skill. Unlike intelligence tests in which answers are scorable as ...

Although projective techniques continue to be widely used in clinical and forensic settings, their scientific status remains highly controversial. In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Ap...

METHODS In a descriptive design, 20 accidentally sampled children, including 10 schizophrenic and 10 normal children, were recruited in to two groups and were compared in terms of reality ...

There has been a proliferation of assessment research on Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) over the past twenty years. In spite of recent advances in the PTSD assessment research, there continues to be a controversy as to whether the MMPI or Rorschach is more useful in determining the presence of PTSD. The present comparative analysis of the research literature will carefully evaluate contr...

A recent meta-analysis found that the Rorschach Prognostic Rating Scale (RPRS) had a strong ability to predict subsequent outcome (r = .44, N = 783; Meyer & Handler, 1997, this issue). However, that review did not directly address questions of incremental validity. This article focuses on the ability of the RPRS to predict outcome after taking into account other sources of data. Across studies ...

The central purpose of this work is to examine to what extent Form Quality (FQ) scoring of Rorschach responses, using Exner's (2003) Table A, is the reason for lower FQ to often be found in normative data outside the United States. The Rorschach protocols of 180 Portuguese boys and girls between 6 and 10 years of age were codified with respect to Form Quality in accordance with Exner's table of...
