The Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study was administered to 58 consecutively admitted Ss who had attempted suicide and to 30 consecutively admitted automobile accident victims matched with Ss without histories of accidents. The expectation that similar and deviant modes of handling aggression and frustration might be revealed in the suicide and accident Ss responses to the P-F Study was not supported. (15 ref.)

435statistically significant with a probability of less than .lo. The usual .05 level of statistical significance was not reached in this study. The size of the scale mean differences were so small-being 1.08 points on a 20 item scale at maximum-that the best conclusion to be drawn from these results is that the two groups differ only slightly on the average. Thus, the results are consistent with those reviewed by Lukianowicz(*) in which he indicated that while a transvestite may be neurotic or psychotic, he is no more prone to neurotic or psychotic tendencies than any other non-transvestite. SUMMARYReplies to a standard psychopathological inventory were obtained from 176 transvestites and 74 control Ss. The transvestites represent a sample obtained nationally through the cooperation of a transvestites' organization. A discriminant function analysis comparing the mean scores on 19 scales for transvestites and controls revealed that the groups could be differentiated a t only a marginal level of statistical significance. There were no gross differences detectable between transvestites and controls on neurotic or psychotic scales.

This article reviews 90 experimental studies that examined the psychological effects of imprisonment on performance, personality, and attitudinal variables. An analysis of the studies revealed that they suffered from considerable methodological problems, including the use of inadequate research designs and unsystematic sampling procedures. The types of subjects and time periods used varied widely, thus making a comparison of the findings, at times, difficult. The results suggested that imprisonment is not harmful to all individuals: Some persons deteriorated in response to confinement, other persons improved their functioning, and still others showed no appreciable change. A complex interaction of factors including individual difference variables, institutional orientation, degree of crowding, phase of sentence, and peer group affiliation seems to influence an individual's response to confinement. The findings also have implications for current correctional controversies such as the "nothing works" issue and the relative value of determinate versus indeterminate sentencing procedures. Future research should further clarify the effects on prisoner adjustment of intrainstitutional variables such as crowding, solitary confinement, prison policy changes, and peer group affiliation. The various patterns of adaptation to confinement in relation to individual difference variables also should be explored.According to recent U.S. Department of Justice surveys (1977, 1978), more than 276,000 adults and 74,000 juveniles are confined in our nation's prisons and reformatories. Convicted criminals are being sentenced to prison at a rate that is the highest in the world, these sentences becoming longer and harsher as the crime rate escalates (Doleschal, 1977). Similar increases in .the number of juveniles confined have been noted, with concomitant increases in the number of public facilities, staff members employed, and financial expenditures (U.
