Area of Science:

Psychological assessment
Psychometrics
Stress and coping

Background:

The Rorschach space response is a projective test indicator.
Its construct validity in stress situations requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the construct validity of the Rorschach space response.
To analyze stress-coping reactions in medical students.

Main Methods:

Factor analysis of self-report stress reactions.
173 medical students completed the Habits of Nervous Tension scale.

Main Results:

Space responding loaded highest on "anger affect".
It also showed a negative loading on "regressive withdrawal".

Conclusions:

The Rorschach space response appears valid for assessing anger and withdrawal in stress.
Results align with previous findings on space response validity.
