“…M has also been associated with sensory deprivation (Bendick & Klopfer, 1964), electromyography-based muscle potentials (Steele & Kahn, 1969), ability to discriminate florid and withdrawn schizophrenics from healthy subjects (Di Nuovo, Laicardi, & Tobino, 1988), and symptom improvement after psychotherapy (Exner & Andronikof-Sanglade, 1992;Weiner & Exner, 1991).…”

“…Support for part of this formulation exists. Beginning with the work of Singer, Meltzoff, and Goldman (1952) and Meltzoff, Singer, and Korchin (1953), a great deal of evidence has accumulated to show that Rorschach was correct about the relationship between motor inhibition and the movement response (Bendick & Klopfer, 1964;Goldman & Herman, 1961;Neel, 1960;Singer & Herman, 1954;Singer & Opler, 1956;Singer & Spohn, 1954). Evidence for a similar relationship between motor inhibition and dreams was produced by Hourly Void and, more recently, by Dement and Wolpert (1958).…”

To test the hypotheses that dream deprivation would produce an increase in quantity of projected movement and a change in its quality in the direction of body-dissolution imagery, 20 Ss were tested with Holtzman inkblots before and after 2 nights of drug-induced dream deprivation. Their performance was compared with that of 30 non-dream-deprived controls. Results were significant in the predicted direction and were interpreted as offering support for Rorschach's views on the fundamental similarity between movement and dreams due to the centrality of kinesthetic experience in both. Additional findings on space were congruent with Fonda's view of space as resistance to internal, rather than external, forces. More specifically, in the present study, space was interpreted as resistance to movement.

“…Subjects engage d in a response-inh ibi tion task pro du ced more mo vement than subjects engaged in a non in hibition task (49). As scored by Klopfer's te chn ique, human mo vement, an imal movement, and in an imate movement increased after sensory isolation, but only human and an imal movement increased after motor inhibition (13). The results are dif ficult to interpret conceptually, as Dana (48 ) has proposed six constructs for the human movement response alone, but it is apparent that movement is related to other behaviors.…”

This chapter is one of the intermittent series which has had "assess ment" in its title. The authors have dropped that term because of its impre cision and its connotations. Assessment has often been used to refer to the combining of measures, usually by human judgment, to predict a criterion. But personality measurement as a whole involves the combination or reduc tion of observations to obtain an index and is concerned with much more than the prediction of criteria. Additionally, the terms assessment and crite ria have an evaluative flavor; while adequacy of functioning is involved in much of personality, a science of personality must not be limited to norma tive considerations. Finally, assessment has the connotation of dealing with the whole person. It seems quite clear that we cannot have a science of the whole person, or even of substantial segments of personality, until we un derstand the components.Most concepts in the personality field are so broad and heterogeneous in their referents that when one concept is used to describe different persons, it is very doubtful that the identical attribute is applied to each. The task fac ing personality today is the identifi cation and delineation of attributes which can be uniformly applied to persons, the objects of this science, with the specifi c applications of each attribute differing only in quantity, not quality. Coordinate with that task is the work of developing operations for measur ing each of these attributes. Such procedures must be standardized so that the measurements can, in principle, be replicated for the same persons and, particularly critical in this area, so that the measurements are getting at the same attribute in the different persons measured, without any sizable per son-instrument interaction. This chapter is concerned with the extent to which these standards are being approximated in personality measurement today.A science develops by an interactive or cyclical process, observations leading to concepts, and concepts guiding the next set of observations. In personality, an infi nity of observations has been conceptualized in a variety of sets of terms with general statements about them. These literary or even
