A retrospective evaluation of stories told to three Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cards by children at risk isolated six characteristics that were associated with functioning six to 10 years later. The characteristics included lack of individual initiative, denial of mother-child relationships, denial of negative outcomes, and lack of autonomy. The TATs of children at risk (due to one parent's hospitalization for a psychotic illness) who subsequently suffered major decompensation themselves (requiring hospitalization or intensive outpatient therapy) could be discriminated from those of children at risk with apparently normal development. The TAT characteristics were independent of the level of adjustment at the time the TATs were administered, not related to the child's IQ, socioeconomic status, race, or other family characteristics, and moderately negatively correlated with story length.
一项对处于风险中的儿童讲述的三个主题统觉测验（TAT）卡片故事的回顾性评估，分离出了六个与六至十年后的功能相关的特征。这些特征包括缺乏个人主动性、否认母子关系、否认负面结果以及缺乏自主性。那些处于风险中的儿童（由于父母一方因精神病住院），随后自身出现严重失代偿（需要住院或强化门诊治疗），他们的TAT测验结果能够与那些处于风险中但发育明显正常的儿童的结果区分开来。TAT特征独立于进行TAT测验时的适应水平，与儿童的智商、社会经济地位、种族或其他家庭特征无关，并且与故事长度呈中度负相关。
