sociocultural model was used to investigate the relationship between
Rorschach content responses and moods in the Hong Kong Chinese culture.
Subjects were asked to project various moods onto inkblots amd describe
the first thing they saw. Dual scaling analysis of this frequency
response data of Rorschach content responses by moods, yielded three
significant solutions (p < 0.5) which accounted for approximately
90 percent of the variability in the data. These findings supported
a clear multidimensional structure in the patterns of association
between Rorschach content responses and moods. In general, these
associations corresponded to Western theoretical expectations. However,
important differences were also noted, such as human content responses
exceeding animal content responses by a factor of four. Other significant
differences between these results and those of earlier Western and
Asian studies were discussed along with findings on sex differences.
