Research on the color-shading response on the Rorschach has been limited previously to its use as a predictor of suicide. The theoretical understanding of this response was addressed by some of the major Rorschach authors. Adult cystic fibrosis patients were administered a battery of psychological tests, including the Rorschach. While these patients face a premature death, none of these patients were suicidal. A higher than usual incidence of color-shading responses occurred. Rapaport's hypothesis that the color-shading response is an expression of a simultaneously conflicting emotion, or similar to "sweet sorrow," was suggested as a possible hypothesis.
先前对罗夏墨迹测验中颜色阴影反应的研究仅限于将其用作自杀的预测指标。一些罗夏墨迹测验的主要作者探讨了对这种反应的理论理解。对成年囊性纤维化患者进行了一系列心理测试，包括罗夏墨迹测验。虽然这些患者面临过早死亡，但他们中没有一个有自杀倾向。却出现了高于正常发生率的颜色阴影反应。有人提出拉帕波特的假设，即颜色阴影反应是同时存在的矛盾情绪的一种表达，或者类似于“甜蜜的忧伤”，这可能是一个合理的假设。
