Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana Jan 1962

Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

This paper contains the statistical results of a "buckshot" congruent validation study of one objective TAT scoring variable, Perceptual Organization (PO). PO was developed from personality theory and from an explicit rationale for the construction of scoring systems for projective techniques. PO is scored from a five card, short-form, TAT set which yields scores comparable to a 20 card set. A series of concurrent validation studies culminated in a manual for application of the scoring system in which PO is one variable. PO is a reliable score (scorer reliability; test-retest) and valid for prediction of clinical diagnosis (current validity). That …

A Manual For Objective Tat Scoring, Richard H. Dana Jan 1956

A Manual For Objective Tat Scoring, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

This manual presents a concise but abbreviated statement of one objective TAT scoring system and its predictive efficiency. It is designed to facilitate application of this approach to TAT scoring. Although the rationale upon which this method is predicated derives from certain specific assumptions regarding personality, the clinical use of these categories does not demand any particular theoretical persuasion. The author recognizes two kinds of validity germane to projective instruments: (a) validity, prediction of clinical diagnosis; (b) validity, prediction of personality characteristics. This manual deals only with validity.


The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana Jan 1950

The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

The development of the ink-blot as a psychological tool has taken a thousand years. The Rorschach, a formal clinical representative of this heritage, is a product of this "testing age" and has been extensively used with children. This has necessitated certain modifications of procedure and analysis which have been achieved by more or less intuitive, non-systematic methods. The most pertinent questions concerning the Rorschach test with adults also apply to children. These questions include the merry-go-round of scoring possibilities: "Clinical", intuitive; objective and in terms of formal categories; psychometric, utilizing a vast number of rating scales.
