Personality Profile Of Sero-Positive And Seronegative Pregnant Women Using Rorschach Test.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Personality of sero-positive and sero-negative pregnant mothers was defined after considering factors like Total productivity, locations, determinants and contents. Seropositive personality shows low productivity, increased reaction time, rejection of more plates, lower number of human responses, higher number of animal responses, colour shock, high F+%, shading and narrow content categories on Rorschach ink-blot test. This suggests depressive tendencies. Method: Rorschach test was administered to sero-positive pregnant women (n=50) and sero-negative pregnant women (n=50) in this study. Result: Sero-negative personality also shows less productivity, increased reaction time and response, less whole response, more detailed responses which suggest anxiety and some sero-negative mothers showing depression. Rejection of plates was less as compared to sero-positive pregnant mothers, the human responses are less, high F+%, shading responses are not seen, and colour shock is absent, popular responses are expectedly more.
