Abstract
This research tried to test the general hypothesis that Ss who recall their relations with their parents as having been stressful have higher blood pressure reactivity than do Ss who recall their parents in more positive terms. 2 groups of Ss were combined: (a) those who had a casual high (> 139 mm.Hg.) or low ( < 110 mm.Hg.) systolic blood pressure reading taken during a mass physical examination (N = 83), and those with normal pressure (N = 24). Recall of parents was measured by a semantic differential parent image form and by questionnaire. Blood pressure reactivity was measured by degree of elevation in response to the cold pressor test. Multiple correlations provide support for the hypothesis with respect to recall of relations with mother, but not for recall of relations with father. (18 ref.)
