Abstract
The use of story writing for assessing motivation began with the adaptation of procedures used in Henry Murray’s Thematic Apperception Test (TAT; 1943; 1951) in a study of the arousing properties of hunger by J. W. Atkinson and D. C. McClelland (1948). A description of this adapted technique is found in Atkinson (1964, p. 223).
