Abstract
Summary The M responses of college students and hospitalized schizophrenics were dichotomized into Actors and Actions. Five types of actors, complex response trends, adjustment levels, and interactions were discriminated. Ratings of feeling tone were not very reliable, with associations to M rated both more negatively and reliably than Actions. A single factor of comfort-discomfort was elicited. Unacceptable attitudes were partly expressed through other-sex figures. Elaboration of the Actor beyond a simple figure tends to be associated with discomfort. Students and schizophrenics projected accepting attitudes toward different actor-types. M-content was related to development and therapeutic transference.
