On the Validity of Hypotheses Derived from the Rorschach: The Relationship between Shading and Anxiety, Update 1992
Research on the hypothesis that shading responses on the Rorschach reflect how people deal with their anxiety was reviewed. The research does not lend support to the hypothesis, but serious methodological and conceptual problems with this research make it difficult to assess the meaning of the results of these studies. The nature of needed research is discussed.
