THE RELIABILITY OF THE SCORING OF THE ROSENZWEIG PICTURE-FRUSTRATION STUDY.

The article examines the reliability of the scoring of the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study. The Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study (P-F) is a controlled projective technique designed to assess typical reactions to frustrations. The Study consists of 24 cartoon-like drawings depicting a variety of mildly frustrating situations; the subject is required to respond for and presumably to identify with the victims of these incidents. The scoring of responses involves two chief dimensions--direction of aggression and type of reaction. Under direction of aggression it is considered whether the subject turns his aggression outward upon the environment, turns it inward upon himself, or avoids expressing it by smoothing over the situation.
