11. TAT

• 492 S Uma Choudhary. Thematic Apperception Test Indian Adaptation — — — — 3000
• Historically, the test has been among the most widely researched, taught, and used of such techniques.
• The TAT was developed during the 1930s by the American psychologist Henry A. Murray and lay psychoanalyst
Christiana D. Morgan at the Harvard Clinic at Harvard University.
• Despite criticisms, the TAT continues to be used as a tool for research into areas of psychology such as dreams,
fantasies, mate selection and what motivates people to choose their occupation. Sometimes it is used in a psychiatric or
psychological context to assess personality disorders, thought disorders, in forensic examinations to evaluate crime
suspects, or to screen candidates for high-stress occupations. It is also commonly used in routine psychological
evaluations, typically without a formal scoring system, as a way to explore emotional conflicts and object relations.

12. Picture Frustration Study to measure level of
Aggression by using a Semi Projective technique
• U. Pareek, R. S. Devi and S. Rosenweig. Picture Frustration Study
• (PFS-IA–PDR) Hindi/English (Indian Adaptation) — — — — — — 3500
• (This test consists 24 items. The test is useful in clinics and hospitals, schools, industry, culture
• studies and in general pychological research where it is important to evaluate patterns of reaction to frustration the modes of
aggressive response for Adults. )
• Rosenzweig's study of aggression lead to the development of the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study, a test of latent hostility;[2]
The Rosenweig Picture Frustration Study is usually considered a semi-projective technique and involves an examinee responding
verbally to a semi-ambiguous picture scenario. Each of the three forms (child, adolescent, and adult) consists of 24 comic strip
pictures that portray a situation that might induce frustration. The overall purpose of the study is to assess how the examinee
responds to frustration and frustrating situations. The test assumes that the way that the examinee responds to each frustrating
situation depicts how they behave in the face of frustration. The worth of this test is based on how aggression is conceptualized
into three types. The first direction of aggression can be extragressive meaning that it is turned onto the environment. The second
direction is intraggressive meaning that it is turned by the examinee onto the self. The final direction is imaggressive which means
that it is evaded in an attempt to gloss over the frustration. In terms of reliability and validity, the P-F Study interscorer reliability
is in the range of .80 to .85. The test-retest reliability is fair to marginal.[3] the test became popular in Europe and was featured in
Stanley Kubrick's movie A Clockwork Orange.

13. Rorschach test
The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of
inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation,
complex algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to examine a
person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been
employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where
patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly.[4] The test is
named after its creator, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach. In the 1960s, the
Rorschach was the most widely used projective test.
