A study of nonpatient preadolescent Rorschach protocols

There is a paucity of peer-reviewed, nonpatient Rorschach studies in psycho logical journals, particularly for children. This study examined 100 pretee nage children, using the Comprehensive System to code their Rorschach proto cols. The participants were also evaluated with the Conners Parent Rating S cale-93 (Conners, 1989) and 5 exclusionary behavior criteria. The 100 parti cipants demonstrated better than average behaviors. The results presented i nclude all the ratios and indexes found in the nonpatient statistics for th e Comprehensive System. We discuss interrater reliability issues and offer recommendations for further cross-validating research.
