Abstract
A group of 25 psychogenically infertile women and a group of 25 women who in the past were mechanically infertile but underwent corrective tuboplastic surgery, participated in a study regarding psychological difficulties associated with psychogenic infertility. They were tested on (a) the neuroticism scale of the EPI, (b) an original Objective Social Perception Inventory, and (c) the Lakin Projective Test. The results showed that the psychogenically infertile group did not differ from the control group on the neuroticism scale, but showed greater difficulties in at least three dimensions of the feminine role on the two other tests. These difficulties were pronounced on both the overt and covert levels of perception. Methodological issues pertaining to research in this area are discussed.
