TAT物語にみられる対人不安の表れ方の特徴について : 自己肯定意識との関連から

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of psychological
projective method TAT (Thematic apperception test) as an assessment tool
detecting interpersonal anxiety and affirmative self-consciousness on
undergraduate students.
On the first study, subjects’ narratives to all of TAT cards were analyzed in
criteria of evoking high anxiety response and self-affirmatives. Eleven of
TAT cards were selected as stimulus cards projecting anxiety and
self-affirmative. Subjects responded to an interpersonal-anxiety
questionnaire and a self-affirmative questionnaire, and they were asked to
make narratives of selected eleven of TAT cards.
The result showed that subjects with high interpersonal-anxiety gave
narratives of conflicting or keeping a positive interrelationship with others.
On the other hand, subjects with high self-affirmative gave narratives of
having a positive interrelationship or expressing a positive expectation to
their future.
For the next study, five of eleven cards were selected in criteria of
projecting high self-anxiety and self-affirmative; cards 1, 2, 9GF, 13B and 14
were selected.
On the second study, post-TAT questionnaire items were created for
feedback to subject’s self-understanding of anxiety or affirmative. And the
responses of post-TAT questionnaire items were examined. Result showed
that subjects with high-anxiety were sensitive to expression of gazing.
Through responding to post-TAT questionnaire items, subjects noticed new
aspect of interpersonal relationship and their self-recognition as a result.
