Apperception Test is the process of understanding by which newly observed qualities of n object are related to past experience.
-
Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is based on Murray’s Need theory and is developed by Morgan & Murray.
- TAT consists of 30 black and white picture cards (four overlapping sets of nineteen cards, each for boys, girls, men, and women) depicting people in ambiguous situations, plus one blank card.
- The usual procedure for administering the TAT begins by asking the examinee to tell a complete story about each of the 10 or so picture cards selected as appropriate for his or her age or sex.
- The examinees asked to devote approximately 5 minutes to each story, telling what is going on now, what thoughts and feelings the people in the story have, what events have led up to the situation, and how it will turn out.
- The content of TAT stories is influenced by the particular environmental context in which the test is taken, and the test does not always differentiate between normal and mentally disordered person.
- The TAT has been used with a range of ethnic and chronological age groups, and various modifications have been constructed for Blacks, children, and older adults.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that there are 30 cards in the T.A.T (Thematic Apperception Test).
- Senior Apperception Technique (SAT)- 16 stimulus pictures
- Children Apperception Test (CAT)- pictures of animals
