Rice, David G.; And Others – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1976
Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) responses of 36 same sex and 29 opposite sex college student twin pairs are analyzed. The results are discussed in terms of comparable genetic determination studies with Rorschach responses and the necessity for separate male and female norms on several HIT score response scales.

Vestewig, Richard E.; Paradise, Carol A. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1977
Achievement motivation was successfully measured among male and female college students by having the students rate eight Thematic Apperception Test cards for similarity and scaling the results in two dimensions: number of persons and degree of strong affect. The Rorschach Inkblot Test was not effective in determining need for achievement. (CTM)

Ames, Louise Bates – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1975
Based on the general belief that people "normally" see male figures on Rorschach Card III and females on Card VII; to see the opposite, according to some, would indicate a confusing of sex roles. This study makes two comparisons: age and time changes of individual responses to these cards in different decades. (DEP)

Tuma, June M.; McCraw, Ronald K. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1975
Rorschach test protocols for a matched sample of male and female subjects, in the child and adolescent range, were scored for total responses. The data was analyzed for evidence of interactions between sex of experimenter and sex and age of subject. (Author/BJG)

Shapiro, Jeremy P. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1979
A substantial portion of what has been interpreted as "fear of success" imagery of the Thematic Apperception Test is argued to involve anxiety about engaging in achievement activities traditionally considered to be inappropriate to one's sex role. (Author/JKS)

Saarni, Carolyn; Azara, Victoria – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1977
Human figure drawings of adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults were analyzed in terms of developmental differences in anxiety signs. Results indicated that the degree to which one has adopted a conventional sex-role was not predictive of anxiety sign differences for either sex or any age group. (Author/MV)

Trahan, Donald; Stricklin, Ann – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1979
The relationship between 15 emotional indicators on the Bender Gestalt Test and the acting out behavior of 93 children, ages 5 to 12, as rated by their teachers, was investigated. Use of the Bender as a projective measure was seriously questioned. The ten-item behavioral rating scale is appended. (MH)
