SEXUAL ASPECTS OF TAT ADMINISTRATION

Investigated the frequency of administration of 4 sexual-romantic TAT cards by 20 male and 6 female graduate student examiners to clinic clients. Male examiners gave more of these cards to female clients than to male clients but female examiners did not make such discriminations. Results confirm R. Schafer's observation that the examiner's voyeuristic needs may be gratified through testing and parallel the findings of R. Rosenthal that male Es behave differently to female Ss than to male Ss.
