Abstract
61 undergraduates took a structured version of the group Rorschach. They were given the option of identifying themselves on the face sheet and requesting feedback from a professor of psychology or remaining anonymous and not getting feedback. In line with the experimental research relating orality and a tendency toward increased interaction with nurturing others, results showed that subjects who identified themselves and requested feedback had higher orality scores than those who remained anonymous. A more objective and versatile method of thematic scoring of Rorschach protocols was introduced; this focused on scoring words rather than usual response units.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
