This study examined the relationship between interpersonal decentering and symptoms of
psychopathology among 48 clients from the Psychology Clinic at the University of North Texas.
The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R)
instrument were administered to clients along with demographic packets. Interpersonal
decentering was assessed using Melvin Feffer's Interpersonal Decentering Scoring System for
the TAT. It was hypothesized that higher scores of global symptom severity would be associated
with lower scores of interpersonal decentering. Higher scores of paranoid ideation,
psychoticism, and hostility were also hypothesized to be associated with lower scores of
interpersonal decentering. Results did not support these hypotheses. However, exploratory
analyses revealed a significant correlation between higher scores of phobic anxiety and lower
scores of interpersonal decentering. Results also provided information regarding the three
methods for calculating interpersonal decentering summary scores.
