We examined associations among cognitive processing measures that varied on a continuum from maximum to typical performance tasks in the context of an ego depletion study. Our intent was to replicate and extend the findings of Charek, Meyer, and Mihura, which showed that ego depletion had an expected effect on selected scores from the Rorschach inkblot task. We hypothesized that Rorschach variables indicative of cognitive sophistication would correlate with neuropsychological measures of cognitive ability and that Rorschach variables theoretically unassociated with cognitive processing would not correlate with those criterion measures. These hypotheses were supported, providing evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. We also hypothesized ego depletion effects on all measures; however, none were evident. Methodological considerations and implications of the findings are discussed.
我们在一项自我损耗研究的背景下，考察了在从最佳表现任务到典型表现任务的连续体上有所不同的认知加工测量指标之间的关联。我们的目的是复制和扩展 Charek、Meyer 和 Mihura 的研究结果，这些结果表明自我损耗对罗夏墨迹测验任务的某些特定分数有预期的影响。我们假设，罗夏墨迹变量中那些表明认知复杂性的变量与认知能力的神经心理学测量指标相关，而那些在理论上与认知加工无关的罗夏变量与这些标准测量指标不相关。这些假设得到了支持，提供了具有收敛和判别效度的证据。我们还假设自我损耗对所有的测量指标都有影响；然而，并没有明显的证据。讨论了研究结果的方法学考虑因素和意义。
