Abstract
12 rats from an emotional strain and 12 normal rats were used. The reliabilities of the measure adopted were high except for the two tests of curiosity with reliabilities of .43 and .44. A table of correlations between the several factors is given. The investigator offers possible explanations for the relationships found, none of which are statistically beyond question.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
