“…Instruments that sample logically relevant domains (e.g., Abel & Becker Cognitive Distortions Scale, Attitudes Towards Women, Burt Rape Myth;Salter, 1988) are frequently open to social desirability in¯uences and often uninformative of anything except that oenders are also aware of social norms (e.g., Langevin et al, 1979). There is evidence that projective tests are predictive of general recidivism for juvenile oenders (Anderson & Walsh, 1998), and recent data have suggested that the Rorschach is less vulnerable to response bias (e.g., minimization and malingering) than objective measures such as the MMPI (Wasyliw, Benn, Ganellen, Wasyliw, Haywood, & Grossman, 1996). However, projective tests are costly to administer, score, and interpret; and there have been questions regarding the validity and reliability of the Rorschach (Wood, Nezworski, & Stejskal, 1996).…”
