Abstract
Each subject was rated as to overt antisocial tendencies on the basis of social history data from civilian and military life which related to aggressive activity. Among the results was the finding that "antisocial Ss differ from nonantisocial Ss in quantity and quality of fantasy aggressions, the former producing not only a larger number of fantasy aggressions but also finding it less necessary to obscure or minimize the hostile impulse. The superego variable as measured by anticipated internal punishments was found to be of far greater significance in inhibiting antisocial behavior than fear of retaliatory punishment which did not even differentiate between groups.
