Rorschach Comprehensive System Data for a Sample of 128 Adult Nonpatients From Australia

Abstract

This article examines data collected for the study by Greenway and Milne (2001), which investigated the association between the Capacity for Control and Stress Tolerance cluster of the Rorschach Comprehensive System (CS; Exner, 1995) and the ability of individuals to take control of their internal states—emotional, cognitive and those related to their actions and reactions. The data consisted of the Rorschach protocols of 128 participants in an urban, community sample, collected by graduate students in the second year of a master's degree in counseling psychology. All of these students had been trained thoroughly in administering the Rorschach and had experience in practicing psychological assessment and counseling for between 8 and 11 months in professional settings. The exclusion criteria are described and the interrater reliability statistics for several CS variables as well as descriptive statistics are presented.
