This study presents Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS; Exner, 1974, 2003) data for a sample of 100 Israeli nonpatient adolescents divided into 2 age-based groups: 11-14 (n = 42) and 15-18 (n = 58). The data are compared to those derived from the international project of Meyer, Erdberg, and Shaffer (2007). The results suggest that contemporary Israeli adolescents demonstrate age-appropriate inclination to show excessive self-inspection (FD), to be overly individualistic, perceiving reality in a unique and unconventional manner (elevated Xu%; lowered X+% and P), and to be involved in scientific issues (elevated Sc). The age-based group of 11 to 14, however, also tends to show difficulties in affect modulation (C > 0). Nonetheless, Israeli nonpatient adolescents are quite unlikely and not more than nonpatient adults, to show elevation on the major CS constellations of psychopathological manifestations. Although these observations are mostly in agreement with data collected from their peers around the world, the Israeli youngsters seem to be more similar to adults than to youngsters from other countries as to various CS measures, including those pointing to openness and attentiveness to stimuli (i.e., Lambda, F%). The main conclusion is that with the exception of some age-appropriate deviations, the international reference data for adults can be used for evaluating psychopathology in adolescents.
本研究呈现了罗夏克综合系统(CS;Exner,1974 年,2003 年)的数据,样本为 100 名以色列非患者青少年,分为两个年龄组:11-14 岁(n=42)和 15-18 岁(n=58)。这些数据与 Meyer、Erdberg 和 Shaffer(2007 年)的国际项目得出的数据进行了比较。结果表明,当代以色列青少年表现出与年龄相适应的过度自我审视(FD)倾向,过度个人主义,以独特和非常规的方式感知现实(升高的 Xu%;降低的 X+%和 P),并参与科学问题(升高的 Sc)。然而,11 至 14 岁的年龄组也倾向于表现出情绪调节困难(C>0)。尽管如此,与非患者成年人相比,以色列非患者青少年不太可能,也不比非患者成年人更有可能在主要的 CS 心理病理表现组合上出现升高。尽管这些观察结果与他们在世界各地的同龄人收集的数据大多一致,但与来自其他国家的青少年相比,以色列青少年在各种 CS 测量方面,包括指向开放性和对刺激的注意力(即 Lambda、F%)方面,更类似于成年人。主要结论是,除了一些与年龄相适应的偏差外,成人的国际参考数据可用于评估青少年的心理病理。
