Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Blind Procedures02:07

Blind Procedures

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which child was...
Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Clinical psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Rorschach test is a widely used projective assessment tool.
  • Case reports are crucial for understanding the application and nuances of the Rorschach.
  • A comprehensive synthesis of Rorschach case reports over the past 50 years is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize Rorschach case reports published over the last 50 years.
  • To identify trends in publication volume, coding systems, language, journal ranking, and reported demographics.
  • To evaluate the Rorschach's use in clinical settings and identify areas for improved reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of Scopus, PsycInfo, and PubMed databases.
  • Manual screening of key Rorschach journals and bibliographies.
  • Inclusion of 217 articles published between 1974 and 2025.

Main Results:

  • Publication volume of Rorschach case reports has steadily increased.
  • Exner's Comprehensive System (CS), School of Paris, and R-PAS were the predominant coding systems.
  • CS and R-PAS were primarily published in English, School of Paris in French; R-PAS studies appeared in higher-ranked journals.
  • Most reports focused on youth, with rare reporting of ethnicity or cultural background.
  • The Rorschach was mainly used in clinical settings, often in multimethod assessments.

Conclusions:

  • Rorschach case report research has expanded, with evolving coding systems and publication trends.
  • Disparities exist in publication language and journal prestige across different coding systems.
  • Future Rorschach research requires enhanced reporting transparency, standardized demographics, and clearer guidelines.
