The Developmental Index (DI) has recently been introduced as a composite Rorschach measure of psychological development and maturation, which can be used both with the Comprehensive System (Exner, 2003), and with the recently developed Rorschach Performance Assessment System (Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011). As the DI is new, and its validity has not yet been investigated with independent non-U.S. samples, we tested the correlation between DI and age using 3 relatively large samples, 2 of which were from outside the United States (total N = 902). Other Rorschach variables presumably associated with maturation, such as complexity and productivity, were also investigated. As expected, the DI significantly correlated with age, with small variations across the 3 samples. Importantly, the correlation between DI and age remained statistically significant also after controlling for productivity (i.e., the number of responses) and complexity.
发展指数（DI）最近被引入，作为一种罗夏墨迹测验对心理发展和成熟度的综合测量方法，它既可以与综合系统（埃克斯纳，2003年）一起使用，也可以与最近开发的罗夏墨迹测验表现评估系统（迈耶、维廖内、米胡拉、埃拉德和埃德伯格，2011年）一起使用。由于DI是新的，并且其有效性尚未在独立的非美国样本中进行研究，我们使用3个相对较大的样本测试了DI与年龄之间的相关性，其中2个样本来自美国以外（总样本量N = 902）。还研究了其他可能与成熟度相关的罗夏墨迹测验变量，如复杂性和反应量。正如预期的那样，DI与年龄显著相关，3个样本之间存在微小差异。重要的是，在控制了反应量（即反应数量）和复杂性之后，DI与年龄之间的相关性在统计学上仍然显著。
