Separate analyses were performed for 345 males and for 245 females. For males, one factor consisted almost exclusively of stimuli of negative (i.e., dysphoria) pull, one of stimuli of positive (euphoria) pull, and one of neutral stimuli; stimulus content varied within each factor. For females one factor consisted of a mixture of neutral and positive stimuli and one of negative stimuli; the females' third factor was the only apparently content-determined factor, consisting of stimuli seemingly related to vague anxieties pertinent to family and sex-role relationships. Stimulus pull, then, influences responses more for some subjects than for others, so that individual differences in responses depend on pull characteristics of stimuli used to elicit responses from which inferences are made.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 1","pages":"332-339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380258","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59008197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

S. Army enlistee volunteers were subjected to systematically varying degrees of body cooling and confronted with pictorial stimuli, varying in relevance, to which they could make quantifiable vicarious heat-seeking responses. Thermal need was independently assessed as a negatively accelerated inverse function of ambient temperature, and responses to the most relevant stimuli provided conclusive evidence of need projection as a similarly accelerated function. Scenes which differentiated significantly between thermal conditions were those which suggested the more immediate and thorough reduction of thermal discomfort. The relevance of results to studies of motivated perception was discussed.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 4","pages":"271-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380250","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"15209859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that observation (1) facilitated the emission of hostile Rorschach response content for low but not for high hostile Ss and (2) promoted more Rorschach response productivity and diversity.
