LAMOUNIER, Rossana  e  VILLEMOR-AMARAL, Anna Elisa de. Validity evidences using Rorschach method in the traffic psychology context. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2006, vol.40, n.2, pp.167-176. ISSN 0034-9690.

The aim of this study was to compare the indices of impulse control, affectivity, aggressiveness and social adequacy in the Rorschach Method of offenders and non- offenders motorists. The sample was composed by 21 motorists who was responsible for at least one accident with fatal victims and 21 motorists that didn’t make any kind of traffic infractions. The results showed statistically significant differences in the AdjD, Xu% , AG and FC:CF+C indices. In the case of the AdjD, AG and FC:CF+C were verified that the group of offenders presented bigger punctuations, while the Xu% punctuation of that group was smaller than the group of nonoffenders. Those data confirmed some of the hypotheses of the study and lead to the conclusion that the Rorschach could be considered sensitive to identify some psychological characteristics of individuals more prone to be responsible of traffic accidents. The results can also be considered an evidence of validity for the use of the Method of Rorschach in the context of traffic psychology.
