Guided by the hypothesis that imagining actions is a way of rehearsing actions in the service of effective adaptations to reality, various characteristics of imagined motion, assessed by the Rorschach Test, were compared in hospitalized suicidal and nonsuicidal preadolescents and adolescents, and in public school children. A number of differences were found for example, suicidal children imagined less vigorous motion than distinguished suicidal and nonsuicidal children and preadolescent and adolescent suicidal children. Further, the scale devised to assess imagined motion successfully predicted about 75 percent of the suicidal children. Implications for diagnosis and treatment of suicidal children are discussed.
基于想象行为是一种为有效适应现实而对行为进行预演的方式这一假设，通过罗夏测验评估的想象运动的各种特征，在住院的有自杀倾向和无自杀倾向的青春期前儿童及青少年以及公立学校儿童中进行了比较。例如，发现了一些差异，有自杀倾向的儿童想象的运动活力低于有明显自杀倾向和无自杀倾向的儿童以及青春期前和青春期有自杀倾向的儿童。此外，设计用于评估想象运动的量表成功预测了约75%的有自杀倾向的儿童。文中还讨论了对有自杀倾向儿童的诊断和治疗的意义。
