Stimulus Value of Rorschach Inkblots and Percepts as Perceived by Children and Schizophrenics

Abstract

Summary 40 female grade-school students and 40 female schizophrenic patients rated the Rorschach inkblots and their percepts given as responses to the inkblots on 21 Semantic Differential scales. The directional trends for both blots and percepts were analyzed using the Chi-Square technique. Comparisons were made between these groups and previously studied female college students for both cards and percepts. Specific differences were found between the schizophrenic group and the other two groups. These differences were most pronounced in the positively evaluated connotations ascribed to cards and percepts by schizophrenics, and in the relative decrease in the number of consistent scale ratings. Possible reasons for the results were discussed.
