シナリオ・テストについて

Abstract

TAT has two defects: one is the difficulty of using it in groups and the other is the limitation of the materials which makes it difficult to select proper ones case by case.In order to eliminate those two defects just mentioned above, this Scenario-Test is devised and its method is to use words, instead of pictures, as the materials to stimulate fantasies of subjects.Scenario-Test in this report is mainly for mental hygiene of university students and has five themes: (1) Relationship of a subject with his parents (required characters: Person A and A's parents), (2) relationship with his associates (required characters: Person A and one of his associates), (3) relationship with the opposite sex (required characters: Person A, a male and Person B, a female), (4) relationship with his superiors (required characters: Person A and his superior), (5) afflictions and self-image (required characters: a Person with affliction).This report consists of two parts. The first is the results of comparison between the data of this test and other ones including TAT, SCT and the Inquiry of life history, as fundamental data. The second part is the summarized report of this test taken by ordinary university students.(1) 98 students of some nurses' training school taken up as materials were devided into two groups. A group of them consisted of 50 members, and took this test, TAT with 10 original cards chosen according to the same way as that in a Osaka University, and the Inquiry of life history. 48 members belonging to B group took this test, SCT and the Inquiry of life history. The result indicates that Scenario-Test is more similar to TAT than to SCT and that it has a high possibility to project the considerably deep image of the subjects.(2) The papers of Scenario-Test taken by 1062 Osaka University freshmen who entered the university in 1960 were collected at the comparatively high rate of 91.2%. From those, 272 male students who showed less rejections in the test were arbitrarily picked up as the subject of study to determine the standard of interpretation. These materials, classified into each story, were devided into items such as length of the sentences, construction of the stories, setting up of the heroes, theme of the stories, and mode of the characters' personal interrelationship, with the explanation of characteristics on each item.
