| Abstract: | Despite the methodological flaws existing in studies concerned with the effects of method of test administration, testing situation, examiner influence, and subject influence on responses made to projective tests, there is strong evidence to show that these variables are important determiners of subject responses. One of the more important variables is the degree to which the S senses that the experimental conditions are integral to the total testing situations, i.e., if there is a feeling of high correspondence then S will be influenced. The implications for the client-clinician relationship are explored. 105 refs. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
