A short presentation of a measurement model for the Rorschach. The Movement (M) and the cognitive special scores (sum6) codes are used as examples. The measurement models uses Poisson-distributed count data as indicators. The codes of each card are used as indicators in the model Three data samples with in all 815 patients and non-patients are use...

Artiklen gør opmærksom på behovet for forskning i relationen mellem muskeltonus og psyke. Der gennemgås metoder til vurdering af muskeltonus. Det vises, at der i forbindelse med hierarkisk organiseret handling optræder tidslige-spatiale muskeltonusmønstre. Dette faktum relateres til hvordan ubevidst materiale kan fremkomme i psykoterapi ved manuel...

Treating the problem of number of responses, R, in the Rorschach test. Graphs showing that a measurement model based on Poisson distributed count data discriminates more among the testee than the observed Rorschach Movement sum score counts. A model including R shows even higher variance, and thus discrimination, for each observed M score. With a...

This paper describes a measurement model for the Rorschach, and introduces three new concepts: Card-level data as the basis for analysis, modeling of scoring category data as Poisson family distributions, and the use of observed counts as indicators of latent variables in a Confirmatory Factor Analysis \emph{measurement model}. The method is demons...

These are Rorschach data from the complete population (n = 122) of 10'year olds on a Danish Island (Samsø) collected in the one year period of 1958-59. The data were collected and scored with a Danish adaptation of an older version of the Rorschach method. The author rescored the data using Exner's Comprehensive System. The data are sum scores of...

Fremstillingen tager udgangspunkt i motoriske teorier om bevidsthedslivet, Tranekjær Rasmussens emnelære til beskrivelse af menneskelige oplevelser, Miller, Gallanter og Pribrams handlemodel og Torsten Ingemann Nielsens handleteori. Herudfra opstilles hypoteser om sammenhænge mellem handledimensioner og muskulære forhold, nærmere bestemt hyper- og...

PowerPoint presentation of a method for measuring of muscular tone by hand palpation based on a theory of relations between muscular tension and psychological characteristics of the person. Implications for treatment.

Sequence analysis, based on the mathematical Markov model, is useful for analyzing interdependent data. Sequences can be recorded as event, state or timed event data, or by coding fixed time intervals. The probabilities of transitions in the data stream are used for modeling of the change processes. The first-order Markov model assumes that every e...

A sample (n = 141) of Danish nonpatients 25-50 years of age, never hospitalized with a psychiatric diagnosis and currently employed, was demographically representative of two geographical areas of Copenhagen with different social strain. The sample, as well as 45 persons not currently employed, was tested with the Rorschach (Exner, 1995), MMPI-2 (B...

With the purpose of increasing the knowledge of the psychometric properties of the 70-item Danish Word Association Test, data from three samples of non-patients and psychiatric patients (N = 326) were used to provide two measures of affectivity of the stimulus words, response heterogeneity and reaction time prolongation. It was possible to fit an i...

This work presents the thoughts of different perspectives on the future of Psychological Assessment and the role that Information Technology (IT) will play in this field. It is an undeniable fact that IT has reached an important position within academic and professional activities in the area of Psychological Assessment today. The ever-increasing p...

Le psychologue danois Edgar Rubin est bien connu pour ses expériences sur les rapports figure/fond. Son disciple Edgar Tranekjær Rasmussen a développé un métalangage phénoménologique applicable aux expériences sur la perception. Ce langage constitue aussi un outil d’intérêt général en psychologie et nous l’utilisons dans l’enseignement pour mieux c...

Presentation of the 70-item Danish version of the Word Association Test. Psychometric examination based on 555 psychiatric patients and non-patients. Development of norms for the clinical application of test results, based on the developmemt of a definition for popular and rare responses, and reaction time. Response style was treated and a validity...

Rorschach data gathered from the complete population of 10-year olds (n = 122) on a Danish Island (Samsø) in the year 1958-59. The data have as much as possible been adapted to the Exner Comprehensive System codings. The paper compares the results with the results for US 10-year olds in the norm tables of Exner. The paper discuss the possible effec...

In a pilot study, muscle tonus evaluated through palpation (both hypertone and hypotone, i.e. flaccid, muscular registrations) was correlated with Rorschach test data (n =14). Impeirment in ego strength, as measurede by the Rorschach SCZI and the Viglione Ego Impairment index, correlated significantly with hypertonicity of erector spinae (dorsal ex...
