Projective Measures of Interpersonal Relationships and Attitudes Toward the Air Force.

Abstract

Samples of 20 Air Force reenlistees and 20 deenlistees from a missile wing were studied with the 'Chromatic Differential Scale,' which is a projective means for eliciting unconscious attitudes toward self, other persons, and institutions. Comparisons were made between the means for the two groups and also between the correlations exposing dynamics within each group. The reenlistment group satisfied the hypothesis of having more positive attitudes about self, mother, father, crewmates, and wife than did the deenlistment group. Positive attitudes toward the wife seem to be the most crucial, confirming the results of other research by the investigator. (Author)
