- Summary:
-
Psychometric research was conducted on the TEMAS (meaning "themes" in Spanish) Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Personality functioning is rated in terms of constructs such as delay of gratification, achievement motivation, reality testing, and self-concept. The TEMAS test was administered to 140 public and 140 private school students from kindergarten to grade 6 and 50 young psychiatric outpatients from San Juan, Puerto Rico. For cross-cultural comparison, means and standard deviations were determined for a sample of children of Puerto Rican background in New York and similar outpatients. Hispanic children in New York were more fluent on the TEMAS than the TAT. Internal consistency and inter-clinical reliability were established and evidence of concurrent validity was apparent in the comparison of test groups. The TEMAS test personality profile appears to be a gross discriminator of clinical and non-clinical states. (SLD)
