Abstract
"On the assumption that male schizophrenics are more threatened by various aspects of sexuality than are normal males, and that the prerecognition distortions of tachistoscopically presented sexual stimuli are often indirect representations reflecting the subject's immediate affective response to the stimulus object, it was hypothesized that a group of normal subjects could be differentiated from a group of schizophrenic subjects on the basis of the affective attitudes implied in the imagery of their respective prerecognition distortions. This hypothesis was tested by using an experimental group of 25 schizophrenic male subjects and a control group of 25 normal male subjects, with the groups equated for age, intelligence, ethnic group, and education." The hypothesis was, in general, supported by the data. From Psyc Abstracts 36:02:2JQ24A. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
