Item How dangerous is Wikipedia? : the impact of Internet-based instructional material on select Rorschach variables(2013-08) Carver, Tracy Ann; Sherry, Alissa RenéThis study will investigate the effect of instructional material on constellations of personality functioning measurable by the Rorschach using a sample of parents from the community. Repeated measures ANOVA and qualitative techniques will be used to analyze the data. It is expected that reading online material will result in more defensive Rorschach protocols, but will not affect variables noted in the literature to be important aspects of parenting capacity. The results will be of interest to psychologists concerned about the proliferation of testing material on the Internet and practitioners conducting forensic evaluations.Item An Introduction to the Personality Assessment Inventory – Adolescent (PAI-A) : understanding applicability for use with forensic adolescent males and investigation of clinical correlates(2011-12) Farwell, Lauren Lee; Sherry, Alissa René; McCarthy, ChristopherPublished in 2007, the Personality Assessment Inventory – Adolescent (PAI-A) is rapidly becoming a widely used adolescent personality measure in psychological assessment, particularly with forensic/delinquent adolescents. The literature indicates forensic adolescent males differ in many domains from non-forensic adolescent males. It is important in adolescent forensic assessment research to align the PAI-A with the empirical literature. The goal of this literature review is understand the utility of the PAI-A for use with forensic adolescent males and provide a foundation for future research with the PAI-A and adolescent males. Particularly, this literature review seeks to identify particular PAI-A scales that are potentially descriptive of one’s forensic status and combine prior research findings to delineate among inherent characteristics of forensic violent, forensic non-violent and non-forensic community adolescent males.
