PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES IN COLOUR VISION TESTING,

Abstract

The effect of psychological factors in the colour testing situation was assessed for a population of normal trichromats. The colour vision tests used were the F-M 100-Hue, the ISCC-CAT, BCMT, and P-N anomaloscope. Two hypotheses relating (a) personality factors to the difficulty of the discrimination task and (b) cognitive factors to the complexity of the test situation were put forward. Both hypotheses receive some confirmation from the experimental data although the effect of these psychological factors is small. From the results of factor analysis it appears that each colour test in this population is measuring an attribute specific to itself, from which it can be inferred that no one test can be regarded as a substitute for another.
