本文试图全面和批判性地回顾目前相当广泛的文献巴纳姆效应的批准/接受的科目虚假的人格解释，假定来自标准测试。自从八年前的最后一次重大审查以来，已经发生了各种方法上的扩展，并提出了各种针对既定结果的竞争性假设。本综述分为三个主要部分：客户端和临床医生的特点;反馈声明和测试格式;和人格评估和测量的影响。近50个研究接受人格解释系统地回顾和批评。
This article attempts a comprehensive and critical review of the by-now fairly extensive literature on the Barnum effect—the approval/acceptance by subjects of bogus personality interpretations supposedly derived from standard tests. Since the last major review eight years ago various methodological extensions have occurred and various rival hypotheses for established findings have been proposed. The present review is divided into three major sections: client and clinician characteristics; feedback statements and test format; and implications for personality assessment and measurement. Nearly 50 studies on the acceptance of personality interpretations are systematically reviewed and criticized.
