Administered the Hand Test to kindergarten age children (N=80) and second-grade-age-level children (N=90). Results indicated that many responses considered to be indicators of disturbance or pathology in adults occur normally with children. (LLL)

Examined the quality and intensity of children's emotional attributions to themselves and to others as characters in affect-laden stories. Results indicated that children attributed more sad and scared responses and fewer happy responses to the other than to the self. More intense responses were attributed to the other. (Author)

Based on the general belief that people "normally" see male figures on Rorschach Card III and females on Card VII; to see the opposite, according to some, would indicate a confusing of sex roles. This study makes two comparisons: age and time changes of individual responses to these cards in different decades. (DEP)

Rorschach test protocols for a matched sample of male and female subjects, in the child and adolescent range, were scored for total responses. The data was analyzed for evidence of interactions between sex of experimenter and sex and age of subject. (Author/BJG)

A substantial portion of what has been interpreted as "fear of success" imagery of the Thematic Apperception Test is argued to involve anxiety about engaging in achievement activities traditionally considered to be inappropriate to one's sex role. (Author/JKS)

This paper reports on an experiment examining sex differences in the types and meanings of emotional responses to a particular projective test: May's deprivation/enhancement measure (D/E), which is seen as an index of gender identity. The measure consistently differentiates males and females, which May felt reflected both physiological and…

Use of a projective cue with a sample of high school students indicated highly significant sex differences in Intimacy Imagery. Males who showed a stereotypically masculine orientation in their projective responses to two cues were less likely than other males to write stories containing Intimacy Imagery. (Author)

Explored the relationship of self-drawings to self-concept in mentally retarded youths. Overall self-drawing score, size of self-drawing, age and sex shared significant variance with self-concept scores. These variables can provide additional information in evaluating the self-concept of the mentally retarded. (Author)

Human figure drawings of adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults were analyzed in terms of developmental differences in anxiety signs. Results indicated that the degree to which one has adopted a conventional sex-role was not predictive of anxiety sign differences for either sex or any age group. (Author/MV)

Previous research has suggested that Rotter's concept of locus of control is significantly related to a variety of attitudes and behaviors. To study the effects of sex, race, and social class differences, a projective measure of locus of control was developed to explore the relationship between control orientation and career aspirations for 432…

This bibliography gives 186 citations for 155 studies using Horner's recent construct of fear of success (FOS). For each of the studies (many of which are available at the Fear of Success Collection, Sophia Smith Library, Smith College), information is given concerning (a) the number and sort of subject sample used in the study; (b) details of the…

Provides a comprehensive meta-analysis of gender differences in aggression; offers estimates of the magnitude of differences; provides a developmental analysis of effects for all ages for which data are available; and includes a total of 143 studies. Basic techniques of meta-analysis are presented and then applied to analyze studies of gender…

Norms are tabulated for the Bender Gestalt Test, based on a group of 62 male and 73 female junior high school students in Utah. These norms are designed to fill a gap in norms which now range from 3 years through adult. The students in this group were aged 12 through 14. Standard Bender Gestalt cards were used. The tests were administered…

Fear of success, as traditionally measured by Horner's projective medical school cue and as measured by Pappo's Fear of Success Questionnaire, was examined in an exploratory attempt at validating the fear of success construct. Sixty-eight male and 119 female undergraduates were administered a battery of tests designed to measure fear of success,…
