TAT(Thematic Apperception Test)に表されるプロットについて : ナラティブの観点から

Abstract

This article attempts to consider TAT stories as narrative. In the current research 108 subjects were asked to make TAT stories. Then they were to revise stories made by others as well as by themselves. It is compared how they changed stories, and it is clear that own stories are likely 'to be changed less at the ending' or 'not to be changed at all.' This result shows that structural tendencies subjects have in storytelling also appeared in the TAT. One of the TAT stories and its revise are closely examined. In that case the subject re-wrote all his story after revising. However the plot he originally made and used appeared again in the newly made story. In conclusion it is possible that the TAT stories express the plots as claimed to be found in narrative.
