Personality Organization and Anoxia Tolerance

Rorschach performance in relation to two types of stress.

“…The variables used in hypotheses 1, 2, and 9 were suggested by Williams [19]. Hypotheses 3, 4, 6, 10, and 11 were largely based on the results of previous investigators [2,10,13,15,16,19] who found one or another of the particular measures in question significantly related to performance under various types of stress conditions. Hypotheses 5, 7, 8, and 12, on the other hand, were derived from clinical experience.…”

Statistical methods applied to Rorschach scores: a review.

“…Rorschach studies which have reported "significant" differences based on an empirical formula without confirming them on fresh samples are those of Mental to (40), Harris and Christiansen ( 23), Hertzman, Orlansky, and Seitz (28), and Ross and Ross (52). Thompson (60) reports spurious r's but does not claim significance for them.…”

The Impact of Projective Techniques on Basic Psychological Science

“…In 1945 Munroe (44) commented on the increasing use of the Rorschach, not for individual clinical diagnoses, but as an instrument for the investigation of more general problems. She gave as examples Hertz's studies of personality development in adolescence (25), Oberholzer's contribution to the study of the People of Alor (14), Ross' objective analysis of the psychological components in migraine and neurocirculatory asthenia (57, 58), Hertzman's study of personality shifts and types of reaction in a stress situation(27,28), and Piotrowski's study of prognosis in the shock treatment of schizophrenia(49). Today, a host of scientific holistically oriented studies made possible by the existence of projective techniques can be cited which have added materially to existing psychological knowledge.…”
