Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the performance under a conflict situation caused by 2 motives, the subconscious motive (Ms) created by a posthypnotic suggestion and the conscious motive (Mc) created by another task instruction given under the waking state. The results were: (a) When the Ss were divided into 2 dichotomized groups according to their degrees of awareness of Ms, the activation of Ms was stronger in the low awareness group; (b) the conflict was the strongest for the Ss who had the quasi-awareness of Ms; (c) the reaction time was longer in the conflict situation; and (d) the writing pressure became strong when the nature of stimuli was changed.
