This study attempted to predict locus of control orientation from responses to the Thematic Apperception Test. Forty male and 40 female undergraduates who scored at the extremes on the Rotter Locus of Control Scale responded to TAT cards. By use of Dies' rating procedure; two judges predicted Ss' locus of control orientation with 70% accuracy. Because an external orientation was predicted with much greater efficiency than an internal orientation, it was suggested that the TAT cards may elicit more external than internal responses.
本研究试图根据对主题统觉测验的反应来预测控制点取向。40名在罗特控制点量表上得分极高的男性和40名女性本科生对主题统觉测验卡片做出了反应。通过使用戴斯的评分程序，两名评判员对被试的控制点取向做出了预测，准确率为70%。由于对外部取向的预测比对内部取向的预测效率高得多，因此有人提出，主题统觉测验卡片可能会引发更多的外部反应而非内部反应。
