"The major concern of this research was to determine the influence of the stimulus value of the examiner on the inquiry of the Rorschach test." Subjects and procedure: (1) A group of 240 individuals was randomly examined by 12 examiners, who made "non-standardized" inquiries. (2) A group of 135 individuals was randomly examined by 9 examiners who administered a "standardized" inquiry. It is concluded that "examiners who administered a standardized inquiry differ among themselves as to the changes that occur from the free association to final response following the inquiry. When the inquiry was standardized, differences among examiners still persisted." The study points up the importance of considering the stimulus value of the examiner in the production of Rorschach responses. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
