Administrator's gender and sexual content in projective test protocols.

J S Milner

    Journal of Clinical Psychology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Gender combinations influence sexual responsivity in projective tests. Like-gender pairings show higher sexual responsiveness than opposite-gender pairs, with specific combinations yielding distinct results.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychometrics
    • Human Sexuality

    Background:

    • Projective tests like the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), word-association test, and Rorschach are used to assess psychological constructs.
    • Previous research suggests that participant-experimenter (E-S) gender combinations may influence responses on these tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of E-S gender combinations on sexual responsivity within projective testing.
    • To determine if like-gender or opposite-gender pairings elicit greater sexual content in responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the TAT.
    • Integration of previous findings from word-association and Rorschach tests.
    • Comparison of sexual responsivity scores across different E-S gender combinations.

    Main Results:

    • The study supports the hypothesis that E-S gender combinations affect sexual responsivity on projective tests.
    • Like-gender pairings demonstrated significantly higher sexual responsivity compared to opposite-gender pairings.
    • A potential rank-ordering of gender pairs was observed, with the male E-female S combination yielding the lowest sex content scores.

    Conclusions:

    • E-S gender combinations play a role in modulating sexual responsivity in projective test settings.
    • The findings suggest a differential impact of gender pairings on psychological assessments.
    • Further research is needed to explore these phenomena in diverse populations beyond a "normal" group.
