A Study of characteristics in Rorschach of high-school students

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the Rorschach response of high-school students. Sixty-five high-school students (27 males : 38 females) were administered the Rorschach. The following 3 points were clarified. 1)The average score of F%, VIIIIX X/R%, ΣC, Human% were close to the expected score of normal adults. 2) The high-school students gave lower scores in Total Response, formal level, M. This suggested the possibility to vary the score of Rorschach response in the high-school students, in the process of maturity. 3) The high-school students have a tendency of restraint in expressing their emotion, in saying excess verbalization. This showed that high-school students tend not to express themselves, to avoid affective stimulus, but rather to be passive in human relations. Furthermore, their internal control may be immature and they can\u27t verbalize their emotions in this age
