Repression and insight as related to reaction to cartoons.

Abstract
"Preference for hostile humor was measured by 3 techniques, which included observing S''s expressive reactions to hostile and control cartoons, having S rate the cartoons, and having him sort them on A Q sort of funniness. In order to obtain a measure of repression, the Ss, members of the same fraternity for at least a year, rated themselves and each other on a Q sort of hostility. The degree to which the self-rating was lower than the average rating by others was taken as an index of repression; the absolute discrepancy between the self-rating and rating by others was taken as an index of insight.
