Preliminary investigation into the Rorschach response patterns of children with documented learning disabilities.

Since the introduction of the Rorschach Inkblot Test, no normative data have been obtained on learning-disabled (LD) children. Indeed, there is little or no mention in the Rorschach literature on differences in perceptual accuracy, Self-concept and reaction to emotion-laden stimuli of LD children as compared with non-patient, withdrawn, and behavior-problem children. This study with a relatively small N of 20 compares the LD child with Exner (1978) norms on non-patient, withdrawn, and behavior-problem children. The findings show clearly differences in perceptual accuracy, affective ratio, egocentricity index, and reaction to emotion-laden stimuli.

Induction of mood and mood shift.

Compared two primary induction methods that have cognitive bases, Autobiographical Recollections and Structural Set of Mood Statements, by assessing their effectiveness in inducing depression and elation moods, respectively. Eighty-three male and 123 female undergraduate college students were assigned randomly to 1 of 15 groups. Each person who participated in the experiment received a depression-related induction or a control followed by an elation-related induction or a control. The effects of each induction were measured by three independent variables: Two depression measured and one anxiety measure. Results generally confirmed hypotheses made by the E that Autobiographical Recollections was the superior method for inducing and altering depression and anxiety in a population that included both sexes.

A common factor in the MMPI scales of married couples.

Using canonical analysis, a common factor in the MMPI scales of husbands and wives was found. The Sc, Pd, and Hs scales for both the husbands and the wives contributed heavily to the relationship. Other scales contributing to the correlation between the personality components of the pairs were F, Hy Pt, and Si for the husbands and Pa for the wives. The results were interpreted as indicating areas of homogeneity and heterogeneity in the personalities of married couples.
