Claude de Tychey et al., « A Discussion about New Adult Norms on the Rorschach in France and Social Change », Bulletin de psychologie, ID : 10670/1.5aa76a...
This study attempts to identify new norms on the Rorschach (using the system of the Parisian school). This study examined 310 adults aged 25 to 65, who were divided into three groups (25–39, 40–54, 55–65) based on age and socioprofessional background (without regard for sex or gender). Whereas some norms appear stable across the 90 years since Rorschach’s initial work (1921), such as the A%, H%, R, F%, others have shown a marked evolution (for example W%, F+%, popular list, ratio between A and Ad, ratio between H and Hd). Structural summary evaluation combined with an in-depth analysis of movement and the new method used to investigate preferred and rejected cards offer empirical support for our hypothesis that narcissistic identity is weakening and that the construction of sexual identity is becoming more difficult in our group of non-patient adults. The comment about sexual identity is related to the increasing modes of borderline-narcissistic organization within our group. Lastly, this paper suggests topics for further research.
