Further Notes on the Effect of Pretest Expectancies on the Psychological Test Report

Abstract

Summary Earlier research obtained evidence for examiner (E) expectancies biasing both subjects' Rorschach responses and Es' test reports of Ss. To test the hypothesis that test report bias results directly from Es' exposure to pretest information and not from Es' exposure to biased protocol data, a matched set of Es wrote new reports from the biased protocols but without knowledge of the biasing instructions. The new data did not differ significantly from those obtained earlier, thus failing to support the hypothesis. They did, however, present some interesting contrasts which raise questions about the interpretation of the earlier results.
