The Rorschach Interaction Scale (RIS) was recently developed to permit scoring the content of certain Rorschach responses in terms of the emotional tone (both positive and negative) associated with responses involving the interaction between two or more human, human-like, or animal figures. Scores on the original scale have been found to be related to later health or disease in a long-range, prospective investigation of medical students. In an effort to devise more sensitive scoring procedures that would express all information inherent in the scale, 18 additional RIS scores were defined and derived. Subsequent factor analyses of these measures revealed the existence of five factors, each of which was well represented by a single score with comparatively little overlap. The relationships of these five scores to later health outcomes will be the subject of ongoing research involving this data base.
