Dr. Silva et al., THE EVOLUTION OF SOME RORSCHACH VARIABLES IN PORTUGUESE CHILDREN, European journal of psychological assessment, 12(1), 1996, pp. 53-58
Previous studies have drawn attention to the occurrence of important d
ifferences between the mean scores of some Rorschach variables in Port
uguese samples and the normative data published by Exner. The present
paper shows the evolution in the scores of 13 Rorschach variables, dur
ing the First four school years, From protocols of a sample of 22 chil
dren of both sexes. The results obtained are consistent with those Fou
nd before. The authors discuss the meaning of these differences and fo
rmulate some considerations on eventual implications, both practical a
nd theoretical, for the use of the American Comprehensive System norms
in Portugal and other countries.
