  • A Review of Picture Based Psychological Assessment Tools for Children and Adolescents
    17 Review Article A Review of Picture Based Psychological Assessment tools for children and adolescents Snigdhasree Bhattacharya1, Uma Hirisave2 1PhD Scholar, Department of Clinical Psychology, NIMHANS - INI, Bangalore. 2Professor, Department of Clinical Psychology, NIMHANS - INI, Bangalore. E-mail – [email protected] ABSTRACT Children connect better with pictures than they do to verbal material. The review traces the application of pictures in the area of psychological assessment with children and adolescents. Pictures have been used as testing material in the domain of projective testing and self report formats. The pictorial tests available in each of the domains have been reviewed and separate analysis has been provided for each domain. The review focuses on the advantages of pictorial measures, their scope in the Indian context and challenges in development of pictorial measures. Keywords: Pictorial Tools, Psychological Assessment using pictures, Assessment with children and adolescents. INTRODUCTION “If a picture paints a thousand words, then a let a picture inspire a thousand words.” Nicholas Boyd Crutchley Images and Drawings have been used to elicit responses in therapeutic consultations and in therapy. These tests are known as „stimulus tests‟, evolved into combinations of stimuli and responses, creating a more interactive give and take between therapist and patient especially when working with children. A social constructivist approach views images as a visual resource that assists in the co-construction of understanding and meaning on a topic of interest, emotional and cognitive lives of the children [1]. It has been seen that children connect better to pictures than they do to words, a prime example of which is the use of illustrations in various books both academic and non academic.

In order to facilitatethe use of currently available measures, tests have been categorizedin terms of 10 broad areas and subcategorized in terms of theconstructs they measure. The 10 areas of classification used are: (1) test batteries measuring many constructs: (21 measures of aptitudeand/or intelligence: (31 measures of the ability tocope with cognitive demands: (4) measures of the ability to cope with personal-social demands: (51 family measures: (6) measures of language development: (7) measures et sensory-motor or physical skills or status: (8) measures of subject-matter achievement:(91 measures of teacher and cr program: and (10) miscellaneous measures. As indicated above, each measure was further assigned to one or more construct areas depending upon test content. For example, the broad area "ability tocope with cognitive demands" includes tests measuring the followingand other constructs: attention: attitude toward school: curiosity:memory: and reasoning.

  • Projective Techniques
    PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES Projective techniques • In psychology, a projective test is a personality test designed to let a person respond to ambiguous stimuli, presumably revealing hidden emotions and internal conflicts projected by the person into the test. • Projective tests have their origins in psychoanalytic psychology, which argues that humans have conscious and unconscious attitudes and motivations that are beyond or hidden from conscious awareness. Definition of Projective Techniques • An unstructured, indirect form of questioning that encourages respondents to project their underlying motivations, beliefs, attitudes or feelings regarding the issues of concern. • In projective techniques, respondents are asked to interpret the behavior of others. • In interpreting the behavior of others, respondents indirectly project their own motivations, beliefs, attitudes, or feelings into the situation. Projective techniques • The general theoretical position behind projective tests is that whenever a specific question is asked, the response will be consciously- formulated and socially determined. • These responses do not reflect the respondent's unconscious or implicit attitudes or motivations. • The respondent's deep-seated motivations may not be consciously recognized by the respondent or the respondent may not be able to verbally express them in the form demanded by the questioner. • Advocates of projective tests stress that the ambiguity of the stimuli presented within the tests allow subjects to express thoughts that originate on a deeper level than tapped by explicit questions, and provide content that may not be captured by responsive tools that may lack appropriate items. Rorschach test • A projective psychological test : created in 1921 with the publication of Psychodiagnostik by Hermann Rorschach. • The best known and most frequently used projective test • consisting of 10 inkblots printed on cards (five in black and white, five in color) • A subject is shown a series of ten irregular but symmetrical inkblots, and asked to explain what they see.

A Ps,cholo ical Investigation of Convicted Incest Offenders B'NTEEHE"ETETFF- Frolective focfifiiques. Iéajmfessor: uB‘Ex-TITRE‘EiET' The present study represents an investigation of certain personality factors derived from psychoanalysis, and their relationship to the crime of father-daughter incest. Person- ality traits descriptive of the psychoanalytic concept of the ”Phallic Character” were presented as hypotheses to be con- firmed. Thres hypotheses suggested the continued presence of disturbances in the following psychosexual areas: Oral Eroti- cisn, Oedipal Intensity, and Castration Anxiety. Three more hypotheses were concerned with current behavioral reactions associated with the dynamics to be found in the Phallic Character; i.s.. the presence of aggressive drives, resent- ment toward authority, and a contempt and hostility toward women. The final four hypotheses contained predictions con- cerning perceptions expected from this type of individual. These included perception of the wife as unavailable sexually, s self-percspt of inability to compete successfully with oth- ers. perception of ths environment as hostile, and perception of young adolssccnt females as being interested in hetero- sexual activity.

Repeated measures ANOVA and qualitative techniques will be used to analyze the data. It is expected that reading online material will result in more defensive Rorschach protocols, but will not affect variables noted in the literature to be important aspects of parenting capacity. The results will be of interest to psychologists concerned about the proliferation of testing material on the Internet and practitioners conducting forensic evaluations. iii TABLE

Now, 176 Measurement and Statistics in Education (Block-1) ProjectiveTechniques Unit - 9 more scientific techniques have been evolved by psychologists for person- ality assessment. The projective technique is also a specific method of personality testing. Projective techniques have a lengthy and vital history in personality assessment. Projective techniques are more useful to assess some inner aspects of personality. Here, in this unit you will be introduced with these projective techniques of personality measurement. 9.3 MEANING OF PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUES Projective Techniques are indirect and unstructured methods to as- sess the personality of an individual.

  • Combination of Cognitive Group Therapy and Subliminal Stimulation in Treatment of Test-Anxious College Males
    ZlCf //SYJ COMBINATION OF COGNITIVE GROUP THERAPY AND SUBLIMINAL STIMULATION IN TREATMENT OF TEST-ANXIOUS COLLEGE MALES DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By William K. Gordon III, M.S, Denton, Texas December, 1982 Gordon, William K., III, Combination of Cognitive Group Therapy and Subliminal Stimulation in Treatment of Test-Anxious College Males. Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical Psychology), December, 1982, 81 pp., 1 table, references, 64 titles. Silverman's technique of subliminal psychodynamic activation via tachistoscope has been demonstrated to facilitate competitive performance in college males when a sanctioned oedipal gratification fantasy stimulus is utilized. This effect is presumed to result from a decrease in unconscious neurotic conflict. The cognitive component of Meichenbaum1s Cognitive Behavior-Modification has been shown effective in reducing test anxiety. This effect is presumed to stem from conscious identification and modifi- cation of negative self-statements. The hypothesis that a combination of the two approaches would prove more effective than the cognitive group therapy alone in reducing test anxiety was tested. Thirty-four test-anxious male students attended 10 sessions wherein they received subliminal stimulation and cognitive group therapy. Half of the students were presented active, and half neutral stimuli subliminally via tachistoscope. All received the cognitive group therapy. Therapists conducting the groups were blind to the hypothesis being tested and the assignment of subjects to experimental and control groups. Subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental condi- tions in order to control for group and therapist effects.

  • Personality Assessment Methods
    CHAPTER 13 Personality Assessment Methods S ome people see the world as fi lled with love and goodness, where others see hate and evil. Some people equate living with behavioral excess, whereas others strive for mod- eration in all things. Some people have relatively realistic perceptions of themselves. ◆ Others labor under grossly distorted self-images and inac- JUST THINK . curate perceptions of family, friends, and acquaintances. For psychologists and others interested in exploring differ- How objective are objective methods of ences among people with regard to these and other dimen- assessment? sions, many different tools are available. In this chapter, we survey some of the tools of personality assessment, including projective methods of assessment and behavioral assessment. We begin with objective methods. Objective Methods Typically associated with paper-and-pencil and computer-administered personality tests, objective methods of personality assessment characteristically contain short- answer items for which the assessee’s task is to select one response from the two or more provided. The scoring is done according to set procedures involving little, if any, judgment on the part of the scorer. As with tests of ability, objective methods of person- ality assessment may include items written in a multiple-choice, true–false, or match- ing format. Whereas a particular response on an objective ability test may be scored correct or incorrect, a response on an objective personality test is scored with reference to either the personality characteristic(s) being measured or the validity of the respondent’s p attern of responses. For example, on a personality test where a true response is deemed indica- tive of the presence of a particular trait, a number of true responses to true–false items will be interpreted with reference to the presumed strength of that trait in the testtaker.
