Abstract
Two research hypotheses, generated from earlier studies and relating to sex differences in response tendency on the semantic differential (SD), were tested. Three carefully matched groups, each comprising 10 male and 10 female normals, neurotics, and psychotics, completed a 7-concept, 9-scale SD. The results indicated that emotional maladjustment and sex of rater were important variables in determining the pattern of scale-checking exhibited. It was suggested that the observed differences in extreme response tendency might be related to sex-role expectancies.
