Rorschach Comprehensive System Data for a Sample of 283 Adult Nonpatients From the United States

Abstract

This article presents an update on adult nonpatients living in central California previously described by Shaffer, Erdberg, and Haroian (1999). In this study an additional 160 nonpatients were administered the Rorschach for a total sample size of 283. Graduate students enrolled in a 2-year Rorschach research seminar administered the Rorschach (Exner, 1995), WAIS-R (Weschler, 1981), and MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989), and were provided with extensive supervision and ongoing quality control. All protocols were recoded by the first two authors and a psychologist with extensive Rorschach experience. Exclusion criteria are described. Interrater reliability statistics at the response level are presented along with scores for Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS), WAIS-R, and MMPI-2 variables.

Rorschach Assessment of Leadership Traits in College Student Leaders

“…Non-overlapping CIs at 90% should be viewed much more speculatively than those at 95% (Cumming & Finch, 2005). (Shaffer, Erdberg, & Haroian, 2007) 1994 33.5 17-70 14.0 College students from California, n = 34 (Shaffer, Erdberg, & Haroian, 2007) 1994.6 Students at university in Alaska, n = 65 (Meyer, 2000) 2000 25.3 18-54 14.0 Students at university in Alaska, n = 35 (Meyer, 2000) 2000 20.1 18-22 13.6 Rather than analyzing the leader sample against each of the comparison groups separately, CI analyses evaluated the CIs of the leader sample across the CIs of all comparison groups. This level of analysis was chosen based on the assumption that identifying nonoverlapping CIs across four comparison groups would be more suggestive of leader-specific trends than nonoverlapping CIs across only one group.…”

“…Primary data analyses in this study compared the Rorschach data of college leaders to previously collected Rorschach data of the following non-leader samples: a college sample from the Pacific Northwest obtained in 2000 ( n = 65; Meyer, 2000); for the purpose of controlling for potential age-based differences, those individuals between the ages 18 and 22 from this sample ( n = 35; Meyer, 2000); a college sample from the West coast obtained between 1996 and 1999 ( n = 34; Shaffer, Erdberg, & Haroian, 2007); and an adult nonpatient sample from the West coast obtained between 1996 and 1999 ( n = 283; Shaffer, et al , 2007). Table 2 presents some relevant demographic characteristics of each group used in this study.…”

A Comparison Between Comprehensive System and an Early Version of the Rorschach Performance Assessment System Administration With Outpatient Children and Adolescents

“…Nevertheless, recent research and reviews (Meyer, 1992;Meyer, Erdberg, & Shaffer, 2007;Shaffer, Erdberg, & Haroian, 2007;Viglione & Hilsenroth, 2001;Viglione & Meyer, 2008) have re-opened the question of constraining R. First of all, the variation in R in most samples is much greater than Exner's initial data would have suggested. For instance, across nonpatient samples from 17 countries the average standard deviation for R was 7.9 (Meyer et al, 2007), whereas the CS normative data (Exner, 2003) instead lead to only 5% and 6% respectively.…”

Metanálise de Relações Interpessoais no Método de Rorschach em Países Ocidentais

“…Seriam excluídos dessa busca os artigos de metanálise, os estudos de caso e os artigos teóricos, bem como os artigos publicados em outros idiomas. Destes 23 artigos, 21 são publicações de 16 países: Japão (Nakamura, Fuchigami, Tsugawa, 2007), Itália Lis, Parolin, Salcuni, Zennaro, 2007), Israel (Tibon, 2007;Berant, 2007) Argentina (Lunazzi et al, 2007;Sanz, 2007), Grécia (Daroglou & Viglione, 2007), Finlândia (Mattlar et al, 2007), Dinamarca (Ivanouw, 2007), Bélgica (Mormont, Thommessen & Kever, 2007), Austrália (Greenway & Milne, 2007), Estados Unidos (Exner, 2007;Pertchik, Shaffer, Erdberg & Margolin, 2007;Shaffer, Erdberg & Haroian, 2007), Espanha (Campo & Vilar, 2007), Romênia (Dumitrascu, 2007), Portugal (Pires, 2007), Peru (Ráez, 2007), Holanda (de Ruiter & Smid, 2007) e Brasil (Nascimento, 2007). Um artigo propõe uma normatização internacional do Sistema Compreensivo (Meyer, Erdberg & Shaffer, 2007) e outro investiga os impactos das habilidades de aplicação do Rorschach no Sistema Compreensivo para a normatização (Lis, Parolin, Calvo, Zennaro & Meyer, 2007).…”
