Cultural Norms for TAT Narratives in Psychological Practice and Research: Illustrative Studies

Abstract: La sensibilidad a los factores culturales de los Métodos de Apercepción Temática puede ser considerada como una gran ventaja metodológica para el desarrollo de enfoques válidos culturalmente en el campo de la evaluación psicológica ( Dana, 1993 ). Han sido sin embargo escasos los intentos por desarrollar datos normativo-comparativos para distintos grupos culturales y subculturales. De Vos (1973 , 1990 ) presentó un sistema de codificación ético-émico para analizar transculturamente historias TAT, el cual ha ve… Show more

“…A number of researchers have used the De Vos categories to tally the frequency of various content themes across cultures to identify motivational themes, social attitudes, or interpersonal concerns that are salient in various cultural groups (De Vos, 1973Ephraim, 2000b;Ephraim et al, 1997;Suarez-Orozco, 1989). Minimal emphasis has been placed on the assessment of individual personalities or the identification of "basic personality structure.…”

“…The full range of imposed-etic and emic approaches have been used with thematic apperception or picture-story techniques (Dana, 1999). Some researchers have used the original TAT card set with little if any modification (e.g., Avila-Espada, 2000; De Vos, l997; Ephraim, Sochting, & Marcia, 1997;Suarez-Orozco, 1989), sometimes with local norms (e.g., Avila-Espada, 2000); some have largely retained the original picture scenarios, but modified the characters to better resemble persons in the target group (Misra,Sahoo,& Puhan,l997); and some have used a more fully indigenous approach, in which new pictures depicting contexts or issues of particular salience for various cultural groups have been created. For example, Dana (1993) reviewed tribe-specific TAT card sets for Native Americans, although culture-relevant scoring systems have not been developed.…”

“…This is accompanied by a concern for methodological difficulties encountered when using projective techniques for cross-cultural purposes. These include the absence of meaningful normative data for different cultural and subcultural groups (Ephraïm et al, 1997) as well as the difficulties inherent in developing such normative data. As Bellak (1993) noted with regard to New Yorkers of second generation Irish, Italian, or Jewish background, it is almost impossible to find sufficiently large representative samples of monocultures in most 20th-century societies.…”

“…Researchers have examined theme differences by card for various cultural groups and within-group social class distinctions, including Anglo Canadians, Venezuelans, Koreans, and Japanese Americans (e.g., Nisei and Issei; see DeVos, 1983;Ephraim, in press;and Ephraim, Sochting, & Marcia, 1997). In each of these cultural groups, for example, achievement motivation-an etic need-is displayed within either a person-centered or collectivist context and with a n emic meaning linked to explicit goals, preferred means, and work-related beliefs (Dana, 1998a).…”
