VILLEMOR-AMARAL, Anna Elisa de  and  GOMES, Gabriel Vitor A.. Comparison of pathological and healthy indicators of Zulliger with R-optimized administration. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.3, pp. 37-54. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v22n3p37-54.

In the Zulliger test, traditionally, there is no control over the number of answers, but a low number of responses influences the interpretation of variables. Considering as model the R-optimized administration proposed to the Rorschach Performance Assessment System, we adapted the traditional way of Zulliger administration in order to control the number of responses in Zulliger. The objective was to verify the differences in some pathological and healthy variables in a group of patients with several psychopathologies and non-patients with an optimized range of responses in Zulliger. One hundred twelve people participated, divided equally: Group 1 of patients with a psychopathological diagnosis (82.1% female, M = 39.34 years old, SD = 13.81), and Group 2 of people without a diagnosis (60.7% female, M = 31.30 years old, SD = 9.37). Results indicated statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups in seven variables, with effects ranging from moderate to strong in magnitude. We concluded that, with the control of responses, the Zulliger variables were able to differentiate the groups and XA% and WDA% were the main findings of the study.
