Abstract

The covariance among a large cache of biopsychosocial individual differences (e.g., identity) has been explained by differences in life history (LH) strategies. The current investigation was premised on the proposition that the LH nomological network may extend to individual differences on projective tests. In order to test this hypothesis, responses on a projective test of identity (the Twenty Statements Test), using three separate data sets (each from a different decade and spanning a period of 45 years), were scored using the LH Rating Form and in turn those scores were correlated with psychometric and biodemographic indices of LH strategy. The pattern of results was consistent with the hypothesis. The TST responses of slow LH strategy participants appeared more likely to include references to religion and family, while the TST responses of fast LH participants seemed to refer to sex and drugs more often. These qualitative interpretations were consistent with the quantitative analyses, which were, in general, supportive of the predicted linear association between scored TST responses and the psychometric and biodemographic measures of LH strategy. In light of the findings, the relationship between LH strategy and identity is discussed. Further investigation on the association between LH strategy and projective tests appears warranted.

短投射测验中生活史策略的识别
大量生物心理社会个体差异(如身份)之间的协方差已被生活史策略的差异所解释。目前的调查是在命题的前提下,LH法网络可能延伸到投射测试的个体差异。为了验证这一假设,使用三个独立的数据集(每个数据集来自不同的十年,跨越45年)对身份投射测试(二十陈述测试)的反应进行评分,使用LH评分表进行评分,然后这些分数与LH策略的心理测量学和生物人口学指数相关。结果的模式与假设一致。慢LH策略参与者的TST反应似乎更多地涉及宗教和家庭,而快LH参与者的TST反应似乎更多地涉及性和药物。这些定性解释与定量分析一致,总体上支持预测的计分TST反应与LH策略的心理测量和生物人口学测量之间的线性关联。根据调查结果,LH策略和身份之间的关系进行了讨论。进一步调查LH策略和投射试验之间的关系似乎是必要的。
