Thematic Apperception Test Analysis
was over one spring she went to celebrate the successful season and year with friends and teammates as they had not gone out or drank at all during the school year due to soccer season. Emily was within her own apartment complex at another athletes apartment for a party, now it’s important to know Emily is not the type of person whom goes out and is wild, drinks, and sleeps around that is exactly the opposite of Emily. That night she was planning on only having a couple drinks and enjoying her night having fun with friends, she then left the party not long into the night to go home and go to bed after only having 2-3 drinks, her friend walked her home along with some guys she didn’t know once she got home her friend left the house and left Emily alone …show more content…
For this test I only used two pictures those being one of a man that appears to be naked hanging from a rope. Emily’s reaction to this photo included confusion, uncertainty, and unhappiness. Emily did not think that the head belonged to the body and believed the picture to be creepy and strange, overall she had a negative opinion about this specific picture. The second of the two TAT photos shown to Emily was a picture of what appears to be a silhouette of a man next to a window. Emily perceived this as a happy photo with the idea that the man was not sad and he was looking outside with the window open with the intention of crawling or jumping out the window. Emily came to these conclusions because his hands are on the window and his knee is in the flexed position as if he is

    The ideas of projective tests were intended to uncover such unconscious desires that are hidden from conscious awareness. The key to projective tests is to provide the participant with an unclear stimulus or question so the underlying and unconscious motivations or attitudes are revealed. The well-known type of projective test is the Rorschach Inkblot Test which consists of 10 different cards that depict an ambiguous inkblot. The participant is expected to describe what they see in the image; gestures, tone of voice, and other reactions are noted and taken into consideration.…

Each trial contained several pictures presented one by one, followed by the test question about my perception of those multiple ambiguous figures. Once the ambiguous figure stopped there was a test question to choose between several options to describe what in my opinion the right answer as I perceive. Once I completed all 14 trials, the data was accumulated and presented in a graph comparing global views with myself.…

    Images were categorized into three groups: pain-related, neutral, and ambiguous. Examples were included in Appendix (see Figure 1 – 3). Pain-related images clearly depict people with injuries or experiencing pain (e.g., a man holding his leg in pain, with a facial expression of pain; a woman holding his shoulder, with a facial expression of pain). Neutral images feature people without visible injuries or pain in everyday situations (e.g., a man sitting at a desk working; a man playing cricket). Ambiguous images picture people in uncommon situations or positions (e.g., a man lying on the ground, with no facial expression of pain; two men supporting a woman, with no facial expression of pain), which may or may not have injurious or painful causes. Ten ambiguous images were first collected using the google search engine. Then each ambiguous image was matched to one neutral image and one pain-related image on number of people present in the scene, both foreground and background. No significant difference on number of people present was found among three image groups (F(2, 27) = .11, p = .901, p2 =…

    Everyone was acting mature and was remaining respectful. I was very happy with the way things went. That is, up until I woke up in the morning. The realization that Chase was the only one not at the house didn’t give me the greatest feeling in my stomach. At first I thought maybe he had to leave early, until my mom came down asking, “Corey, where the hell is my camera… and wallet.” I had no choice but to believe the only person missing from the group had to have been the culprit. This belief on the other hand proved to be right. After searching for a while, we all settled on the common belief that Chase had stolen these items. I was furious, but for the first time I realized that just because someone acts one way, doesn’t mean that is truly who they…

    The Thematic Apperception Test evolved after over decade of work and was finally “published by Henry A. Murray and the Staff of Harvard Psychological Clinic in 1943” (Morgan, 1995). There was a lot of controversy over who the author really was. Christina Morgan was originally cited as the senior author when the Series B cards came out but later removed Morgan, 2002). The test had been through three revisions and had a rough start. The goal of this test is to get a person to respond to indistinct stimuli so their personality could be better understood (Frey). By using this method, the therapist hope one would divulge and emotions that they are not showing and any internal conflicts (Frey).…

    What Is Racism?

    These images will be of different people, of different socially constructed races, in different situational poses. For example there will be men dressed as soldiers with a gun, each picture will be of a different man dressed in the same attire, in the same pose. The participant will be asked to choose if this is a positive, neutral, or negative image. While they are looking through the images I will be recording their brain activity. I will also have them take a version of an implicit bias test or a survey on how they feel about their bias after the section of EEG recording and image selections. The reason I will analyze the first second of the thought process is because I want to see what the brain automatically does without conscious decision making, meaning before the brain waves reach the frontal lobe after the image is shown. Pretty much it is another way to get an implicit bias result. Meaning, the participant cannot make a conscious decision, only a truthful one will be…
