Description
Summary:College students were given photographs of unfamiliar students and were asked "to select pictures they judged to represent people high and low on the trait of self-assertiveness," and rate these as to which they liked best and least. "The Ss also rated each other by a Q-sort technique for the trait of self-assertiveness, and scores on the Guilford-Martin Ascendancy and Lack of Inferiority scales of the GAMIN test were obtained." Among the findings was the fact that "the Ss who tended to have a positive relationship between their preferences for photographs and their ratings of the same photographs along a self-assertive personality dimension, tended to score high on measures of ascendancy, lack of inferiority, and self-assertiveness."
