In this study, Holtzman protocols from 95 Ss were analyzed for differences in number of M responses evoked by balanced versus unbalanced stimuli. An additional 30 protocols were obtained under conditions where symmetry was destroyed by masking half of the slide. Results indicated that symmetrical stimuli do not produce more M responses. This supports the idea that the M response originates on a level which is not directly influenced by the immediate environmental stimulation.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 1","pages":"16-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380198","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59008156","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}

In Study I, 92 high school students were given instructions to answer honestly vs. instructions to make a good impression. Ironically, acquiescence was strongest when Ss were asked to answer honestly. In Study II, 155 college students' data indicated that acquiescence was associated with low self-esteem. In Study III it was found that the acquiescence-self-esteem relationship did not hold for Ss high in creativity (N=103), while Study IV showed that acquiescent Ss do not admit to prejudice (N=84). Additional findings suggest the difficulty of dealing with the acquiescent response set.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 1","pages":"45-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380204","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"16498075","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}

For many years, in state hospitals and mental hygiene clinics and now in community mental health centers, psychologists have been called upon for personality assessment of lower-class patients. The results of various studies indicate rather conclusively that lower-class people, for a variety of reasons, are much more likely to be assessed less favorably than members of the middle class. This paper is an attempt to review some factors in assessing the lower class patient so that the clinician can face these issues more clearly in his psychological assessment.","PeriodicalId":78361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of projective techniques & personality assessment","volume":"34 1","pages":"6-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1970-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0091651X.1970.10380196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59008137","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}

This procedure is indefensible.
