Abstract

The Thematic Apperceptive Techniques (TATs) or storytelling techniques use culture specific stimuli (pictures) to elicit stories and these stories are codable/interpretable using any of the wide variety of systems. With the aim to extend the use of this technique with Indian adolescents, a stimuli set (named as TATs Stimuli for Indian Adolescents) containing 22 pictures showing adolescent boys and girls in various situations was designed. Pictures along with Adjustment Inventory (AI) by M.S.L. Saxena were group administered to adolescent boys and girls (N=260). Stories were coded using The Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale-Global Rating Method (SCORS-G) and SCORS-G composite rating was obtained for each student. Total t-score (or adjustment score) was obtained on AI for each student. There was no significant difference between boys and girls on SCORS-G composite and adjustment score on AI. Pearson’s r was calculated to determine the relationship between total adjustment score obtained on AI and SCORS-G composite. Descriptives have been given. The study supports the convergent validity of newly developed TATs stimuli set with M.S.L. Saxena’s AI. It also addresses the call for developing and reporting SCORS-G local norms.
