This study investigated if Rorschach aggression variables(AG, S, AgC) are valid predictors of overt aggressive behaviors. 71 Rorschach protocol were randomly sampled among closed ward inpatients. Modified Overt aggression Scale(MOAS) was used for rating of overt aggression behaviors. At the result, AG was significant correlation with aggressive behavior toward self and persons, and S was significant correlation aggressive behavior toward self. Also, AG group(AG>2, S<4) and S group (S>3, AG<3) showed significantly higher score than compare group(AG<3 and S<4) in MOAS. Especially, AG group showed significantly high MOAS toward objects and persons at pre-admission periods, and S group showed significantly high MOAS toward self during admission. It was no significant correlation between Aggressive Contents and MOAS. Implications and limitations were discussed.
