From Inkblots to Eye Movements
BACKGROUND: Personality assessment in trauma-related conditions has rarely used multi-method approaches, and research on trauma-personality links remains sparse. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify presumably stable behavioral manifestations of self-reported traumatic experiences by inspecting eye-tracking and Rorschach responses. METHOD: Ninety-three Italian volunteers completed the International Trauma Exposure Measure (ITEM), the Rorschach Perform…
A Population Wide Analysis of MCMI-IV Symptom Validity Scales Administered in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-IV (MCMI-IV) is a psychological assessment tool commonly used in Veteran Affairs (VA) settings. However, no research has examined the MCMI-IV symptom validity scales in the veteran population, where high rates of response bias can occur. This study examined convergent validity of the MCMI-IV scales to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) validity measures, identif…
Two Views of Invalid Response Set and Malingering Attributions in Forensic Assessment
This article reviews two major sets of six articles on malingering and invalid response set, which have diametrically opposite conclusions on the value of performance and symptom validity tests (PVTs and SVTs) in forensic and related disability assessments (FDRA). First, we review the six‐article series by the Leonhards, which takes the stance that PVTs and SVTs lack sufficient conceptual and empirical support to be utilized in FDRA. More specifi…

A Step Forward in Identifying Socially Desirable Respondents
Context: In high‐stakes assessments, such as court cases or managerial evaluations, decision‐makers heavily rely on psychological testing. These assessments often play a crucial role in determining important decisions that affect a person’s life and have a significant impact on society. Problem Statement: Research indicates that many psychological assessments are compromised by respondents’ deliberate distortions and inaccurate self‐presentations…
Rorschach Human Movement and Psychotherapy
The emotional responses of psychotherapists to their patients, known as countertransference, can yield valuable insights into the patient’s psychological functioning. Albeit from a different perspective, the Rorschach test also provides information about the patient’s psychological processes. In particular, the Rorschach human movement response (M) has been shown to be a useful measure of higher-level psychological functioning. In an attempt to b…
Effects of Covid-19 Emergency and Associated Lockdown Policies on the Normative Expectations for the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) and the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS)
Standardized personality tests compare the test taker’s scores to those of a large sample of individuals representing normative expectations. However, what is psychologically normal in one historical context may not be similarly normal in another, so the recent spread of a new coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19), may have implications for what should normally be expected of a nonclinical person taking a personality test shortly after this dramatic…
White space responses in the Rorschach
Cross‐cultural investigation from nine countries on the associations of antisocial traits and the WHO 's containment measures for the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Personality traits play a role in prosocial behavior in relation to containment measures intended to tackle the COVID‐19 pandemic. Empirical findings indicated that individuals high in socially aversive traits such as callousness are less compliant with containment measures. This study aimed to add cross‐cultural data on the relationship between antisocial traits and adherence to COVID‐19 containment measures. The sample consisted of 4,538 adults…
Complexity and Cognitive Engagement in the Rorschach Task
Recently, an eye-tracking study found that Complexity and other R-PAS variables located in the Engagement and Cognitive Processing domain correlated with a proxy marker for cognitive effort and engagement. The goal of the current study was to test the robustness and validity of those eye-tracking findings by inspecting fMRI data. We hypothesized that the greater the level of engagement and cognitive effort put in place by a Rorschach test-taker, …
A multimethod assessment to study the relationship between rumination and gender differences
Rumination is described as the propensity of responding to distress by repetitively and passively focusing on one’s negative emotions, and failures, and their consequences (Nolen‐Hoeksema, 1991, 1998). Therefore, given that rumination is characterized especially by difficulties in managing and controlling negative emotional states, it is considered as the most common (impaired) emotional regulation strategy, and can be defined as an emotional pro…
Influence of maternal reflective functioning on mothers’ and children's weight
Based on cross‐sectional research linking poor reflective functionining (RF) to eating disorders, the current follow‐up study tested whether maternal RF would explain the variance of mothers’ and children's weight beyond the effects of maternal emotional dysregulation. During pregnancy (Time 1 [T1]), 51 women were administered the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and interviewed using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). Seven mon…
Psychometric properties of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) in Brazil
Internationally, the most widely used self-report instrument to assess alexithymia (a clinical condition characterized by serious deficits in the cognitive processing of emotions) is the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Because this measure has been poorly investigated in Brazil and emerging research suggests that TAS-20 scores might vary from one culture to another, we sought to: (1) investigate the psychometric properties of a Brazilian TAS-…
A longitudinal study on emotional dysregulation and obesity risk
Gender moderates the relationship between attachment insecurities and emotion dysregulation
The relation between attachment styles and emotion regulation is well documented, and emotion dysregulation is considered characteristic of individuals with insecure attachment styles. Although gender differences in emotion regulation have often been reported, it is not clear whether the association between attachment styles and aspects of emotion dysregulation may vary across gender. A sample of 229 newlywed couples completed the Experiences in …
Cultural Adaptation of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of an Italian version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004). METHOD: Three studies were completed. First, factorial structure, internal consistency, and concurrent validity of our Italian version of the DERS were examined with a sample of 323 students (77% female; mean age 25.6). Second, test-retest analyses were completed using a …
