To further evaluate Rorschach indicators of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), test protocols of 16 combat veterans so diagnosed were compared with those of 9 combat controls and 12 noncombat subjects. Results replicated Rorschach abnormalities previously associated with this disorder, including signs of low stress tolerance, poor affect modulation, perceptual distortion, and interpersonal disengagement. However, only two indicators, EB (Erlebnistypus) and CC (combat-related content), differentiated PTSD subjects from controls (P < .05). Examination of negative findings revealed that all three groups similarly deviated from Exner nonpatient norms (Exner, 1993: The Rorschach, Vol 1. New York: John Wiley and Sons) on many Rorschach variables. Possible explanations for these findings are considered, and the need for control subjects in Rorschach investigation is underscored.
为了进一步评估创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的罗夏墨迹测验指标，将16名确诊为此类疾病的退伍军人的测试方案与9名战斗对照组和12名非战斗受试者的测试方案进行了比较。结果重现了先前与该疾病相关的罗夏墨迹测验异常，包括低压力耐受性、情绪调节不良、感知扭曲和人际疏离的迹象。然而，只有两个指标，即EB（体验类型）和CC（与战斗相关的内容），能够区分PTSD受试者与对照组（P < .05）。对阴性结果的检查表明，在许多罗夏墨迹测验变量上，所有三组都同样偏离了艾克纳非患者常模（艾克纳，1993年：《罗夏墨迹测验》，第1卷。纽约：约翰·威利父子公司）。文中考虑了这些发现的可能解释，并强调了在罗夏墨迹测验研究中设置对照受试者的必要性。
