Differences in Attribution of Impulse (Id), Ego and Superego Functions to Male and Female Photographs

Abstract

The response data for a new Photo-Analysis test, comparable to those for Dombrose and Slobin's subtest of the IES Test, were analyzed for sex differences in stimulus content. Male photographs elicited significantly more impulse and fewer ego responses than female photographs from both male and female Ss, as predicted. Although the superego scores were not significantly different, they were in the predicted direction.
