The Senior Apperception Test was administered to 40 older adults of both sexes ranging in age from 61 to 97 years (M age = 78.4 years) to investigate the themes elicited by the 16 SAT stimulus cards. All volunteers were screened to exclude individuals with: 1) cognitive impairments, or 2) any gross auditory, visual, and/or tactile impairment. Results found no consistent pattern of sex differences in responses. A thematic analysis illustrates that content themes depicting affiliation and physical limitations along with themes of dependency and description were the most predominant themes for an institutionalized older adult sample. The majority of the story outcomes were of an ambivalent nature and a neutral tenor. The implications of the results were discussed.
对40名年龄在61岁至97岁之间(平均年龄=78.4岁)的老年男女进行了高级统觉测验,以调查16张SAT刺激卡片所引发的主题。所有志愿者都经过筛选,排除了以下个体:1)认知障碍,或2)任何严重的听觉、视觉和/或触觉障碍。结果发现,在反应中没有一致的性别差异模式。一项主题分析表明,描绘归属感和身体限制的内容主题以及依赖和描述的主题是机构化老年样本中最主要的主题。大多数故事结局具有矛盾的性质和中性的基调。讨论了结果的影响。
