The children's form of the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study, a duplicate of the adult form in structure and intent, was first published in 1948 (8). Evidence for validity in the original publication consisted only of the presence of expected genetic trends in the direction of aggression. Over the age span of 4 to 13 years, extrapunitiveness (E) decreased, intropunitiveness (/) and impunitiveness (M) increased. The Group Conformity Rating (GCR) also showed a predicted increase with age. In a later study by Rosenzweig and Rosenzweig (9), a group of child clinic patients was found to differ from the normative sample in expected ways. The patients had a higher percentage of E, a lower percentage of /, and a consistently lower GCR at all age levels. The conclusion that the child patients "have less fully acquired the patterns of socially acceptable reaction to frustration" (9, p. 686) appears warranted by the data and reflects favorably on the validity of the test.A comparative study of a delinquent and a normal adolescent group by Lindzey and Goldwyn (5) found that the normals had a significantly higher mean E, but that there was no difference in the GCR. Within the delinquent group, those with poor institutional adjustment had a higher E than those with good adjustment. It is somewhat difficult to reconcile these findings. However, the study itself has a number of weak points, including
