| Popis: | Summary.-Microgenetic styles of regulation of subjects with (n = 46) and without (n = 44) psychometric evidence of personality disorders were assessed by means of the Serial Color-Word Test. The disordered group were characterized by the primary Dissociative patrern and by very low values of the initial strategy called ITa. Subjects with psychometric evidence of Histrionic (n = 21) and Obsessive-Compulsive (n = 21) Personality Disorders were then compared. Histrionic personality corresponded most often to a primary Stabilized style, with a progressive slight increase of dissociation over time (Cv type). The compulsive trait was instead associated with hgh primary cumulation (and moderately elevated dissociation), concomitantly with secondary dissociative patterns (CDr and Dv/CDv). These results seem to encourage further clinical research with the Serial Color-Word Tesr. A recent paper (Rubino, Verucci, & Fortuna, 1993) described in detail the rationale and the methodology of the Serial Color-Word Test, a microgenetic technique for the study of patterns of adaptation to conflicts (cf. Smith & Klein, 1953; Smith, Nyrnan, & Hentschel, 1970) and reported the first findings of a psychopathological research program centered on the instrument. The present study represents a second research step and investigates the regulative styles of personality disorders in general, and those of the Histrionic and the Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders in particular. The latter two personality types were chosen because traditionally they have prominent positions among character pathologies. Extensive reviews of the percept-genetic data regarding hysterical and compulsive personalities are already available (Rubino, Saya, & Pezzarossa, 1992; Rubino, Sonnino, & Tonini, 1992). A thorough explanation of the classification and abbreviations relating to microgenetic regulative styles was presented by Rubino, et al. (1993). The particular sensitivity of the Serial Color-Word Test to character neuroses was suggested long ago (Smith, Nilsson, J therefore, it was expected that subjects with high scores on measures of personahty disorders would present more signs of primary and secondary dissociation and cumulation-dissociation on the Serial Color-Word Test compared with nondisordered controls. It was also hypothesized that compulsive personalities would be characterized by high ITa values (Smith & Nyrnan, 1959), while no prediction could be advanced about histrionic personalities.
