“…Thus, while the possible range of scores on this part of Condition 2 and 4 was from 0 to 12, the actual range was from 10.5 to 12.0, a range that was narrower than that for the psychopaths. I t would therefore seem on the basis of these data that the experimental conditions were probably no less reliable than those reported elsewhere for the original Rosenzweig (2).…”

F THE welter of contradictory theory concerning the aggressively 0 antisocial psychopath, certain assumptions regarding his hostility and guilt are readily accepted by most, if not all, authorities on this subject. It is the purpose of this study to test several of these basic assumptions under controlled experimental conditions. HYPOTHESESThe following hypotheses, derived from assumptions currently accepted either in part or in toto in clinical practice, are to be tested: 1) Psychopaths are more extrapunitively hostile than clinically normal subjects. The psychopath's emotional lability and his inability to delay impulses are often reflected in antisocial behavior. 2) Psychopaths can sustain more hostility over a given period of time with less attendant guilt than can normals. 3) Psychopaths are characterized by aggressiveness not only in behavior, but in fantasy. Their fantasy life will reveal more hostility than is found in normal subject^.^ 4) Psychopaths will inhibit aggressive behavior when faced with the external reminders of societal authority. Under conditions where their behavior is subject to critical evaluation by others, they will diminish aggressivity to the point where their behavior is seemingly identical with that of normals. It has long been noted that psychopaths are well aware of society's demands, but have not incorporated societal values into their personality structure (4). SU BJ ECTSThe experimental group consisted of seventeen psychopaths who were carefully selected from a correctional institution for boys. The psychiatrist a t the school made the diagnosis of psychopathic personality in only 25 *

“…It may be noted that Bernard [1], after basing GCR scores on his sample data, but using Rosenzweig's criteria for selecting items and scoring responses, obtained test-retest reliability of only .45 with a three-to nine-month interval. Thus it appears from Bernard's [1] and the present study that P-F items, selected and scored by Rosenzweig's scheme for the GCR, should not be expected to measure "group conformity" with satisfactory reliability, either among different individuals at the same time, or for the same individual at different times.…”

T HE Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study (referred to herein as the P-F) yields, among other measures, a Group Conformity Rating (GCR) [10, p. 201]. Rosenzweig states that the GCR "forms one basis for judging social adjustment" [11, p. 168], is indicative of "capacity for conformity with conventional behavior under stress" [11, p. 172], and may reveal whether a subject is "capable of conventional responses in social situations and . . . probably . . . , at least superficially, better adjusted" [11, p. 180].Capacity or capability, of course, can only be inferred, since neither is necessarily ever revealed in overt behavior. Rosenzweig's concept of "group conformity" may be said to be at the level of a hypothetical construct, and subject to experimental verification against an external criterion, but not subject to disproof by the same method. At least one corollary can, however, be deduced from the concept, and furnish a hypothesis which can be tested against a criterion internal to the GCR.For those unfamiliar with the mechanics of the P-F and GCR, a brief description, paraphrased from the manual [10, pp. 165-166, 201], may serve to clarify some of the arguments to follow.Description of the GCR. The items are cartoonlike pictures, each depicting two persons involved in a mildly frustrating situation of common occurrence. One person is shown saying certain words which either help to describe the frustration of the other individual, or which are themselves actually frustrating to him. The subject is instructed to write the first appropriate reply which enters his mind. 1This study was conducted at the Allegheny Vocational Counseling Center with the assistance of a grant from the Buhl Foundation.

The Rosenzweig P — F Study was administered to a group of South African Indian students (N = 403) from the University of Durban-Westville with slight modifications in administration. The subjects were divided into three groups and were instructed to react to Blacks in Group A, to Whites in Group B, and to Indians in Group C. The results indicated that the subjects differed in their responses to the three racial groups revealing predominantly intropunitive and impunitive responses to Blacks, and extrapunitive responses to Indians.
