[HIT scale for Argentinian adolescents]
Summary
This study introduces the abridged Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) for Argentine adolescents, offering standardized scoring. Normative data were established for a sample of 156 students in Buenos Aires.
Area of Science:
- Psychological assessment
- Adolescent psychology
Background:
- The Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) is a projective test with a standardized scoring system.
- The original HIT (47 plates) is lengthy; an abridged version (32 plates) exists.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the abridged HIT (30 plates) pattern for Argentine adolescents.
- To establish normative data for this population.
Main Methods:
- Group administration of the abridged HIT to 156 Argentine adolescents (67 males, 89 females) in Buenos Aires.
- Calculation of means, standard deviations, and percentile ranks for both sexes and the total sample.
Main Results:
- Normative data, including means, standard deviations, and percentile ranks, were obtained for Argentine adolescents.
- The sample, while heterogeneous, is comparable to those used for original HIT norms.
Conclusions:
- The abridged HIT provides a standardized evaluation tool for Argentine adolescents.
- This study offers a valuable normative basis for using the abridged HIT in this population.
