| Abstract: | Reports an error in the original article by A. Weinstock (Journal of Consulting Psychology, 1967Oct], 315], 539-541). In this article, the author failed to mention that the study was done at the University of California Institute of Human Development and was supported in part by United States Public Health Service Grant MH 06238-02. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1967-16574-001.) Longitudinal data were used to assess the relationship between childhood social class and the development of particular defense mechanisms in adulthood. Childhood social class was correlated with ratings of defense mechanisms made when Ss were 30 yr. old. The results show that denial is negatively and projection and intellectualization are positively correlated with childhood social class.
