“…First, there is a long tradition of using group administration to facilitate Rorschach data collection (e.g., Bornstein et al, 1997; Harrower-Erickson & Steiner, 1943; Munroe, 1945) and research indicates performance is relatively similar under group and individual administration (Bornstein et al, 1997; Harrower-Erickson & Steiner, 1951; Shaffer, Duszynski, & Thomas, 1981). As described in the Methods, relative to previous group-based data collection procedures, the administration procedures we used reflected a highly structured attempt to translate standard individual administration to the group research setting.…”

“…Building on a methodology developed by Horn, Meyer, and Mihura (2009) and updated by Hsiao, Meyer, Mihura, and Horn (2011), we used an examiner-led, computer-facilitated group Rorschach administration that as closely as possible followed standardized Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) guidelines (Meyer et al, 2011). Relative to other group administration procedures (e.g., Bornstein, Bonner, Kildow, & McCall, 1997; Harrower-Erickson & Steiner, 1943; Munroe, 1945), our method provided a number of enhancements to translate standard individual administration into the group setting. Each participant had a facedown stack of the 10 inkblots that they sequentially held, examined, and manipulated during the Response and Clarification Phases.…”

The Impact of an Ego Depletion Manipulation on Performance-Based and Self-Report Assessment Measures

We investigated the impact of ego depletion on selected Rorschach cognitive processing variables and self-reported affect states. Research indicates acts of effortful self-regulation transiently deplete a finite pool of cognitive resources, impairing performance on subsequent tasks requiring self-regulation. We predicted that relative to controls, ego-depleted participants' Rorschach protocols would have more spontaneous reactivity to color, less cognitive sophistication, and more frequent logical lapses in visualization, whereas self-reports would reflect greater fatigue and less attentiveness. The hypotheses were partially supported; despite a surprising absence of self-reported differences, ego-depleted participants had Rorschach protocols with lower scores on two variables indicative of sophisticated combinatory thinking, as well as higher levels of color receptivity; they also had lower scores on a composite variable computed across all hypothesized markers of complexity. In addition, self-reported achievement striving moderated the effect of the experimental manipulation on color receptivity, and in the Depletion condition it was associated with greater attentiveness to the tasks, more color reactivity, and less global synthetic processing. Results are discussed with an emphasis on the response process, methodological limitations and strengths, implications for calculating refined Rorschach scores, and the value of using multiple methods in research and experimental paradigms to validate assessment measures.

“…Regarding the Rorschach, the most potentially limiting element of group administration is the absence of examiner clarification questions. Group administration has been used in Rorschach research and yielded comparable findings for many variables (Bornstein, Bonner, Kildow, & McCall, 1997; Harrower-Erickson & Steiner, 1945). Moreover, the procedures we used are highly structured translations of standard individual administration into a group setting for research purposes (Horn et al, 2009; Hsiao et al, 2011) that notably improve on previous group administration procedures.…”

Correspondence of Maximum and Typical Performance Measures of Cognitive Processing

We examined associations among cognitive processing measures that varied on a continuum from maximum to typical performance tasks in the context of an ego depletion study. Our intent was to replicate and extend the findings of Charek, Meyer, and Mihura, which showed that ego depletion had an expected effect on selected scores from the Rorschach inkblot task. We hypothesized that Rorschach variables indicative of cognitive sophistication would correlate with neuropsychological measures of cognitive ability and that Rorschach variables theoretically unassociated with cognitive processing would not correlate with those criterion measures. These hypotheses were supported, providing evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. We also hypothesized ego depletion effects on all measures; however, none were evident. Methodological considerations and implications of the findings are discussed.

“…However, available literature suggests that the administration procedure differences between CS and R-PAS do not influence Rorschach scores (Hosseininasab et al, 2017). Also, Bornstein et al (1997) explored score differences between individual and group Rorschach administration on ODL scores, finding no differences as a function of the type of test administration.…”

Oral-Dependent Language (ODL) is currently included in the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) as an empirically supported variable that measures both implicit and explicit psychological processes related to dependence and oral motives. To date, almost all studies on ODL have been conducted in the U.S. so that little is known about how it works in other cultural contexts. Additionally, no study has investigated the Oral and Dependent subcomponents of this variable. This paper addresses ODL validity in Italy and its clinical utility by reporting on three studies, each addressing a specific research question. Study 1 examined the association of gender, age, and cultural background to ODL scores. Study 2 addressed predictive validity by examining the relationship of ODL and its subcomponents' scores to dependent
