Relationship of Projective to Direct Expression of Selected Needs for Nonpsychotic S S

Abstract

TAT-assessed need strengths of Aggression, Achievement, and Nurturance were compared with self-reported strength of these needs for groups of nonpsychotic Ss differing in the presumed strength of the needs, sex, years of schooling, and socioeconomic status. The following conclusions appear justified: (a) Interjudge reliabilities greater than .90 can be obtained for assessing need strengths from TAT protocols; (b) Projectively assessed and self-reported need strengths were not highly related for any need investigated for any group of Ss; (c) The relationship of projectively assessed to self-reported need strength of any need was not meaningfully differential across groups.
