HSCO 502 TEST 3 EXAM SCRIPT 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Projective hypothesis. Answer: if presented with an ambiguous
stimulus, person will project own personality, history, drives etc. on
to the stimulus
- Most techniques centered around this assumption
◉ Projective hypothesis. Answer: could be used as more of a
behavioral sample (aka observation)
◉ If we want "true projective". Answer: need the most ambigous
(open to more then one interpretation) stimuli possible
◉ If we want "behavioral sample". Answer: use something with
stimulus pull for ease of interpretation
- e.g., sentence completion, Roberts
◉ When using projectives intent should determine. Answer:
technique
◉ Projective test - Techniques. Answer: - Story telling or
appreciation tests
,- Sentence Completion and techniques
- Projective drawing techniques
- Roschach
◉ Story telling or appreciation tests (Thematic appreciation test
TAT). Answer: - General instructions (e.g., tell story about whats
happening in picture and what each person thinking and feeling)
- Consider process (how elaborate and coherent story is) and
content (themes across stimuli)
- Theme more significant if not pulled from stimulus
◉ Story telling continued (Roberts appreciation test for children and
children's appreciation test). Answer: - Pull from important stimuli
for kids
- More toward behavioral sample
- Structured and explicit scoring technique
- Psychometric evidence is more limited so could use a clinical
technique.
◉ Sentence completion techniques. Answer: - clear stimulus pull
- some ask for firs thing that comes to mind (so "more" projective)
- The more a person thinks through response, the less projective.
, ◉ Projective drawing techniques. Answer: - seen as very
controversial
- Would not use as something with psychometric evidence/support.
- Some strategies have protocol of question ask so more of a
behavioral sample- but still should use only interpretations.
◉ Rorschach. Answer: - Free recall and then inquiry phase
- Detailed scoring process (Exner - most widely known)
- Interpretations form this system for lids simply a downward
extension of adult interps.
- Scores less table for kids
certain distortions assoc. with psychosis and impulsivity - but still
do not allow for developmental considerations
- Many still use solely interpretive approach
◉ Clinical technique vs psychometric test (Clinical technique).
Answer: - Like unstructured interview with less stimuli pul
- Example: Drawings for kids
- Probably most common use now
◉ Problem with clinical techniques. Answer: Problem:
- interpretation very subjective
- e.g., exner scoring system for Rorschach
