Freshmen and sophomores (79 males, 62 females) at a commuter college in an industrial area were administered the Mooney Problem Check List. The Future ranked second highest in terms of serious problems for males but last for females. Social-Psychological Relations ranked third (tie) highest as a serious problem for females but only eighth highest for males. Males admitted to having not only more problems than females but also more serious problems. In addition, males indicated more of a willingness to talk over their problems with a trained person.
22 undergraduate psychology majors (14 males, 8 females) were administered the Cattell 16 PF Test and were later seen in two groups of 11 for determining hypnotic susceptibility as assessed by the Barber Suggestibility Scale. Only 2 of the 16 rank-difference correlations reached significance ( p < .01). The highly hypnotizable Ss scored significantly higher than the low Ss on the enthusiastic and insecure factors.
