Regional Integration And Domestic Institutional Homogeneity: A Comparative Analysis Of Regional Integration In The Americas, Pacific Asia, And Western Europe, Yi Feng, Gaspare M. Genna

Gaspare M Genna

Three Factors Of The Comprehensive System For The Rorschach And Their Relationship To Wechsler Iq Scores In An Adolescent Sample, James M. Wood, Radhika Krishnamurthy, Robert P. Archer

James M. Wood

Principal axis factor analyses of the Rorschach Comprehensive System in a clinical sample of 152 adolescents yielded three clearly defined factors: Synthesized Complexity (defined by Zf, DQ+, and F%), Productivity (defined by R, D, and Dd), and Form Quality (defined by X+%, F+%, and X-%). Variables on the Synthesized Complexity and Form Quality factors were generally correlated with Wechsler Full Scale IQ, Verbal IQ, and Performance IQ scores. Overall, the factors in this adolescent sample replicated factors identified in earlier studies with adults. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.
