Abstract
"The purpose of this study was to relate dependency themes on the TAT to the tendency to conform to group opinion. Twenty-seven male undergraduates wrote stories to eight TAT cards and then were individually observed in the Asch conformity situation.... The subjects who produced TAT themes in which the hero sought help in a problem situation or was portrayed as disturbed over loss of sources of love and support yielded to the incorrect majority [in the conformity situation] more frequently than those subjects not writing these types of stories (p<.01).".Keywords
