This study examined the effects of stimulus characteristics from the Picture Story Exercise (PSE; Smith, 1992) on the quality of social cognition and object relational functions as expressed in narrative responses. A nonclinical sample of 140 adults told stories to five PSE cards. Three trained raters scored the narratives using the Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale-Global Rating Method (SCORS-G; Stein & Slavin-Mulford, 2018). Data were then analyzed to determine the extent to which different PSE cards elicited more pathological or more adaptive ratings on the 8 SCORS-G dimensions. Results showed that different cards produced reliable and significant differences in ratings on different SCORS-G dimensions. These results extend findings of previous research (Siefert et al., 2016; Stein et al., 2014) that used the SCORS-G with Thematic Apperception Test (Murray, 1943) cards to a unique and previously unexplored stimulus set. The implications of these findings on the use and interpretation of the PSE and SCORS-G are discussed.
本研究考察了 Picture Story Exercise（PSE；Smith，1992）刺激特征对社会认知和客体关系功能质量的影响，这些功能表现在叙事反应中。140 名非临床成年人用五张 PSE 卡片讲故事。三名经过培训的评估者使用社会认知和客体关系量表-全球评分法（SCORS-G；Stein & Slavin-Mulford，2018）对这些叙事进行评分。然后对数据进行分析，以确定不同的 PSE 卡片在 8 个 SCORS-G 维度上引发更病态或更适应的评分的程度。结果表明，不同的卡片在不同的 SCORS-G 维度上产生了可靠且显著的评分差异。这些结果扩展了之前使用 SCORS-G 与主题统觉测验（Murray，1943）卡片的研究（Siefert 等人，2016；Stein 等人，2014）的发现，这些研究使用了独特且以前未探索过的刺激集。讨论了这些发现对 PSE 和 SCORS-G 的使用和解释的影响。
