The paper outlines the testing and validation of the affect and control scales of
the Phenomenological Analysis of Selfhood (PAS) method. The method was
developed as a way of assessing personality by gauging the experience of self
through analysing self-narratives and makes a successful attempt to generate
and test data quantitatively within a narrative psychology framework. Construct
validation of the quantitative scales of the PAS against the Rosenberg self-esteem
scale, the Rotter locus of control scale as well as with differentiated shading, form
and total responses on the Rorschach Ink Blot test yielded a number of significant
correlations.
