THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE MODE ON PROJECTIVE MEASURES OF NEED ACHIEVEMENT AND HOSTILE PRESS.
Abstract
Since some concepts currently tested with written Thematic Apperception Test (TATs) have been derived from and compared with concepts originally tested with verbal TATs, it was considered important to test the hypothesis that the verbal response mode would yield higher scores than would written responses. Forty-two male and 19 female Ss in 2 experimental groups responded to TAT pictures projected on a screen. Group I wrote responses while Group II taped responses. On Hostile Press the null hypothesis was not rejected. On Need Achievement, however, the experimental hypothesis was confirmed for both sexes. It was concluded that extreme caution must be used in comparing studies using different response modes in projective tests. (Author)
