“…A variety of studies have attempted to explore the validity of this assumption. Recently, Zelin and Sechrest (1963) pointed out the difficulty of evaluating the so-called "Father" (CardIV) and "Mother" (Card VII) Rorschach cards in terms of inferences about relationships with parental figures. They separate the published studies into three areas : labeling, semantic differential, and predictive.…”

be considered a greater one than it would be for the teen-age undergraduate. Practically all of these people had been away from the discipline of study for very long periods of time. No concessions were made because of their age, as they were interspersed among the regular, predominantly young, student body in usual college classes. Finally, many were individuals who had outside work and/or family responsibilities which precluded their devoting undivided attention to their studies.We cannot, of course, extrapolate these findings to all older people. Although 457 is a large number, we do not know the special circumstances pertinent to each individual. It is possible that they do not represent a random sampling of people their age but, rather, a select group who are of above average intelligence and motivation.It is safe to assume that high incentive is a prerequisite for wch accomplishment and it would be illuminating to know more about the nature of the forces which impelled mature people to undertake such a demanding commitmertt. Unfortunately, the material available in their dockets was generally meager. As noted in the previous section of this paper, 46 of the men said they wished to change to occupations for which the college degree was essential, and 35 of the women planned to. either change their occupation or enter one for the first time. From brief comments by others, we can guess at reasons such as the desire for intellectual stimulation, the feeling that an important experience had been missed, the prestige of a degree, etc.
