    Open AccessElaine J Klionsky, Judy B Okawa et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1998

    The present study concerned an attempt to corroborate the classic findings of Rapaport, Gill, and Schafer in distinguishing mental hospital patients from control subjects, using a new objectively scored word-association test. 12 computer-scored objective scales were used to compare groups of 101 mental hospital inpatients (n = 75, including 37 on a prison ward) and outpatients (n = 26) and 101 control subjects matched with the patients for sex, a…

  • The Adult Personality of Childhood Incest Victims

    Open AccessTracey L Waldman, David E Silber et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1997

    This is a further report on a group of 30 incest survivors we wrote about in 1994. Here, we report on measures of personality derived from the Apperceptive Personality Test, which contains many variables similar to those on the one we reported in 1994. On both measures, incest survivors can be characterized as having more negative perceptions and self-descriptions than the comparison group

  • Relationship between the Apperceptive Personality Test and Verbal Intelligence in a University Sample

    Open AccessRobert W Holmstrom, Stephen A Karp et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

    This study examined the relationship between verbal intelligence and the Apperceptive Personality Test/Brief Adult in a university sample. The recently developed test is a picture-story assessment technique and, as with its parent test, the Apperceptive Personality Test/Comprehensive Adult, combines both projective and objective features. Research to date with both tests has focused on some 19 (objectively scored) questionnaire variables selected…

  • The Apperceptive Personality Test and Locus of Control

    Open AccessRobert W Holmstrom, Stephen A Karp et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1991

    This study examined the relationship between the Apperceptive Personality Test (APT) and Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control (I-E) Scale. These scales were administered to 131 undergraduates (83 women, 48 men) and a stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed with Rotter's I-E scores as the criterion variable and 20 APT variables as predictors. The results provided some support for modest but significant relationships between two …

  • Learning disabilities as a childhood manifestation of severe psychopathology

    Kathleen M Salyer, Robert W Holmstrom et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1991

    The severity and nature of psychopathology in a group of learning disabled children was investigated. Compared to children in a normal control group, those in the learning disabled group manifested a significant degree of emotional maladjustment. They also exhibited disturbances in areas of ego functioning generally thought to be impaired in those with borderline personality organization. No linear relationship was found between severity of patho…

  • Personality Correlates of Reflectivity

    Open AccessPamela S Jennings, Robert W Holmstrom et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1986

    This study investigated personality correlates of reflectivity. Spitzer's Twenty Statements Test procedure, developed within a symbolic-interactionist framework, was used to identify reflective subjects. Of primary interest was the relationship between reflectivity and indices of ideal-self discrepancy. Other variables assumed to have relevance to reflectivity were self-awareness, imagery control, socialization, and anxiety. Results confirmed the…

Stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to identify factors related to reports of experiencing emotional strain and doubts about completion of graduate work. Analyses revealed that faculty attitudes and behaviors toward woman doctoral students contributed significantly to thei…
