Examiner sex, subject sex, and Rorschach productivity.

Investigated the number of Rorschach responses given by 64 male and female clients to 41 male and female graduate students serving as Es. 2 tests were made of the hypothesis that more responses would be given in the female S-male E situation than in any other sex combination. The hypothesis was supported. When a male E tested both a male and female S, the female gave more responses (p = .02); when the sample included male Es who tested either a male S or female S, female Ss again gave more responses than males (p = .05). No such differential effects were found for female Es with male and female Ss. Results are consistent with R. Rosenthal's (see 41:7, 41:8) findings that the male E-female S situation produces unique results. (21 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
