Rorschach Human Movement and Attitudes toward Space Exploration

Abstract

The relationship between weak or strong Rorschach human movement responses and attitudes toward space explorations was studied. A group of 104 teachers and school administrators were given first a Space Exploration Scale, which was intended to tap attitudes toward expansive behavior, and then three M responses were elicited on Card III. The M responses were rated independently by three judges as depicting either weak or strong activity. Only those 70 Ss for whom there was unanimous agreement were used for comparison analyses. Although there was some tendency for 5s who produced strong M to be more positive in their space exploration attitudes than Ss who produced weak M, the difference was not statistically significant.
