The Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale-Global (SCORS-G) has been used increasingly in multimethod psychological assessment contexts as a framework for eliciting personality information from narrative data collection techniques, the most popular of which is the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Although research on the reliability and validity of the SCORS system has evolved over the last decade, there are numerous psychometric and procedural shortcomings (and corresponding ethical issues) that should be considered when applying this methodology to the TAT in clinical and research settings. Chief among these concerns is a lack of normative benchmarking, variability in TAT card batteries that are administered across contexts (which limit generalization and direct research comparisons), ambiguous reliability and validity evidence (and lack of incremental validity), and redundancy in published studies (i.e., versions of the same data/samples presented repeatedly across research). There is also a dearth of information about how SCORS-G data are influenced by factors such as culture, language, cognitive functioning, and other variables that may impact narrative output, word count, and richness (and subsequent interpretation and clinical decision making). The review concludes with a discussion of the ethical implications of using the SCORS-G in clinical practice, and recommendation for a moratorium on its use until minimum psychometric standards can be established and greater clarity is achieved surrounding its use with diverse and vulnerable populations.

对临床实践和研究中的社会认知和客体关系量表-全局和主题统觉测试的批判性回顾：心理测量的局限性和伦理影响。

全球社会认知和客体关系量表（SCORS-G）已越来越多地在多方法心理评估环境中使用，作为从叙述数据收集技术中提取个性信息的框架，其中最流行的是主题统觉测试（TAT）。尽管对 SCORS 系统可靠性和有效性的研究在过去十年中不断发展，但在临床和研究环境中将此方法应用于 TAT 时，应考虑许多心理测量和程序缺陷（以及相应的伦理问题）。这些担忧中最主要的是缺乏规范性基准、跨环境管理的 TAT 卡电池的可变性（这限制了泛化和直接研究比较）、模糊的可靠性和有效性证据（以及缺乏增量有效性）以及已发表的研究中的冗余（即，在研究中重复呈现的相同数据/样本的版本）。关于 SCORS-G 数据如何受到文化、语言、认知功能和其他可能影响叙述输出、字数和丰富性（以及随后的解释和临床决策）的变量等因素影响的信息也很缺乏。该综述最后讨论了在临床实践中使用 SCORS-G 的伦理影响，并建议暂停使用该工具，直到建立最低心理测量标准，并且更明确地了解其在多样化和弱势群体中的使用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
