The Localization Of The AgC Variable In Rorschach

What is the aggression? How to measure it? Can we forecast the aggression? From many respects, psychologists answer these questions. In order to answer these questions, the Rorschach test advance AG, MOR to code the aggression. But only these two variables couldn't be enough to code the aggression, Gacono put forward a series of new variables. The AgC is one the most important in them.AgC is defined as any response that is popular perceived (generally seen by most people) as predatory, dangerous, malevolent, injurious, or harmful (any one of a combination of these descriptors).Previous works on the AgC variable has demonstrated its relationship to DSM-â…£behavior criteria and MMPI-2 subscale for antisocial personalities, suggesting that this variable may be related to subtler forms of aggression. So it may be benefit complementarities to the AG variable. AG variable is only scored when aggression actively occurs in a movement response.There are not many works on the AgC variable in china. In order to measure the Chinese more accurately and study the reliability and validity of the AgC variable in china, we do this research.First, we research the norm of coding AgC in Chinese background. Second, we research the way to code the AgC and the reliability, validity of the AgC variable.Results:(1) The norm of the coding AgC in Chinese background has 60 items. The test-retest reliability is 0.93, the homogeneity reliability is 0.96, the split-half reliability is 0.93; the 60 items can be loaded on four factors.(2) The inter-rater reliability of AgC variable is 0.93, the correlation is significant.(3) This study lends further support to the content validity and reliability of the AgC variable proposed by Gacono and Meloy (1994), the addition of this variable to the Comprehensive System can assist clinicians in further defining an aggressive response.
