Some relationships among projective test, interview, and sociometric measures of dependent behavior.

"Data relevant to two hypotheses concerned with the evaluation of projective test responses were obtained in this study. The projective test measure was frequency of response in n Dependency on the TAT and on the ISB. A structured clinical interview and a sociometric technique were used as measures of overt Dependent behavior… . Eighty Ss participated in the study… . Frequency of response in n Dependency on the TAT yielded no evidence of relationship to the interview and sociometric measures of overt Dependent behavior… . Frequency of response in n Dependency on the ISB was related to interview and sociometric measures of overt Dependent behavior." From Psyc Abstracts 36:01:1HG99F.
