Abstract

Recently, Fudin critically evaluated Silverman's subliminal psychodynamic activation (SPA) method regarding issues of visual-field position of the stimulus, partial stimulus encoding, and structural matching of experimental and control stimuli. Fudin has outlined several ways to tighten the methodology and these suggestions have been followed herein. Consistent with previous research it was hypothesized that male and female nonclinical subjects (N = 100), highly differentiated from their mothers, would respond adaptively to the subliminal message of symbiotic-like oneness, MOMMY AND I ARE ONE, but not to an incomplete or anagram message. Results were in the predicted direction although short of statistical significance. Also, new avenues of research were explored concerning Silverman's Adjective Rating Scale.
