- Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this article is analyzing TAT protocols through a correlation between SCORS's method and a semiotic narrative analysis of the stories. The hypothesis is that a higher relational competence correlates with a better narrative capacity. Sample: 30 TAT protocols (15 boys and 15 girls, aged 12-19) of adolescents starting a psychological assessment at Minotauro Institute. Method: TAT protocols have been analyzed with two scales: * Social Cognition and Object Relation Scale: it values social cognition and object relations. * Semeiotic Narrative Analysis Grid: observing the narratives'constitutive elements. Results: most adolescents hardly distinguish their own perspective from the others' and have a poor understanding of social causality. On the contrary they show a broad range of object representations of persons and of the emotional expectations. The Semiotic Narrative Analysis Grid showed that most narratives have a dynamic structure, caused by the main character's sense of lack of the desired object. Through a change, the main character reaches the desired object. The key player is often a subject needing care and strongly dependent, in an infantile role, with the desire of reaching autonomy. Conclusions: this research work showed how the analysis of the semiotic structure doesn't allow to differentiate according to the narrative capacity analyzed using SCORS criteria. A further level of research could be structured identifying the typical themes that mark the subjects' narratives. This could offer the chance to build typical and recurrent narratives models, related to a specific mental functioning.
