    Rotter’s incomplete sentence

    blank test
    Introduction
    • Developed by Janet Rafferty, Julian B. Rotter, and Michale Lah
    • It was published in 1992 by psychological corporation
    • The incomplete sentence blank test consist of forty items revised from
    a form used by Julian Rotter and Benjamin Willerman.
    • The original RISB was published in 1950 and the most recent revisions,
    including separate forms for clients in high school, college and
    adulthood, were published in 1992.
    • The sentence completion method of studying persolaity is a semi-
    structured projective technique in which subject is asked to finish a
    sentence for which the first word is supplied.
    Purpose of RISB
    • The ISB is an attempt to standardize the sentence completion method
    for use at the college level.
    • Forty sterns are completed by the subject.
    • There completions are then scored by comparing them against typical
    items in empirically derived scoring manuals for men and women and
    by assigning to each response a scale value from 0-6.
    • The total score is an index of maladjustment
    • Measuring adjustment and maladjustment is the aim of RISB, with the
    goal of identifying both the presence and relative absence of
    psychopathology
    • Intended to help and guide an initial interview, formulate a diagnosis
    and arrive at a treatment plan
    • Used for screening purpose with college students
    • Used in vocational guidance center to select students requiring
    broader counseling
    Psychometric properties
    • Most valid among Sentence completion tests
    • Reliability
    • As items are not equivalent the odd-even technique to determine
    reliability was not applicable and tend to give minimum reliability.
    • Items were divided into halves deemed as nearly equivalent as
    possible.
    • This yield a corrected split half reliability of .84 when based on the
    records of 124 male college students and .83 when based on 71
    female students.
    Validity

    • Validated on groups of subject which were not part of cases used in


    developing scoring principles and scoring manuals.
    • Scoring was done blindly, three scorer never knew whether the test
    blank was supposed to be that of a maladjusted or an adjusted
    subject
    Normative Data
    • College freshman population was obtained by giving the incomplete
    sentences blank to 299 entering freshman at ohio state university
    Administration
    • 10 to 20 minutes to complete it
    • Individual and group
    Age groups
