Abstract
"The stereotypy and bias with which Ss used the number series 1-11 in a pseudo-ESP experiment was determined under three experimental conditions: (a) experimentally induced anxiety, (b) experimentally induced muscular tension, and (c) a control condition." Ss scoring in the highest and lowest quartile of the MMPI psychasthenia scale were used. "Under the control condition, the high group was found to be more stereotyped and predictable in their use of the number responses, but under the anxiety and muscle tension conditions this relationship was reversed."
