Previous studies have shown that color increases the production of responses to Rorschach in adults but not in children. This increase is observed beginning from 15-16 years old. This developmental data, obtained from Portuguese children and young individuals, led the authors to verify whether this property of color is innate or conditioned by neuropsychological development, whether it is learned or acquired. The application of Rorschach in two groups of black children and young individuals from Mozambique aged 12, 12 and 15 to 20 years following the same methodology indicated no essential differences in relation to the results obtained in Lisbon, Portugal. Differences were pronounced in the second group for females, which raises issue of the phenomenon's cultural nature.Downloads
