The California F-test and an author-designed Perceptual Rigidity test were given to 100 college girls to help clarify the specific relationship between perceptual rigidity and authoritarianism and to test the hypothesis that the perceptually rigid person will score high on the F-test. A significant correlation was obtained between scores on the two tests and the factor analysis yielded two factors: Conventionality and High Defense Utilization. Devising a test which relates traditional values with perceptual rigidity seems needed to clarify the results.
