Abstract

The relationship between body boundary and stimulus intensity was investigated by means of lifted weights. Ss with high Barrier scores were hypothesized to judge weights as heavier than those with lower scores. A disrupting variable was introduced into the task to test the second hypothesis that attention contributed to the heightened intensity of stimuli. The first hypothesis was supported. The second hypothesis was not supported as both groups were equally affected by the disrupting variable.
