    The Hand Test demonstrates reliable scoring for psychopathology indices, particularly withdrawal, supporting its clinical use. This study confirms the test

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological assessment
    • Clinical psychology
    • Psychopathology research

    Background:

    • The Hand Test is a projective psychological assessment tool.
    • Its validity and reliability are crucial for clinical application.
    • Understanding the consistency of its scoring is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compute split-half and test-retest reliabilities for key Hand Test scoring categories.
    • To evaluate the consistency of Hand Test scores across different administrations and scoring methods.
    • To assess the psychometric properties of the Hand Test for individuals with mixed psychopathology.

    Main Methods:

    • A group of 100 subjects with mixed psychopathology was assessed.
    • Split-half reliability was calculated to assess internal consistency.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Test-retest reliability was computed to evaluate stability over time.

    • Main Results:

    • All computed correlations for Hand Test scoring categories were statistically significant.
    • Reliability coefficients ranged from modest to high.
    • The 'Withdrawal' score, an indicator of severe psychopathology, exhibited the highest consistency across both reliability measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings lend credence to the theoretical rationale of the Hand Test.
    • The obtained reliabilities are sufficiently high to support the clinical utility of the Hand Test.
    • The Hand Test is a reliable tool for assessing psychopathology in clinical settings.
