Abstract

40 COLLEGE STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN A TACHISTOSCOPIC PERCEPTUAL RECOGNITION TASK. A FORCED-CHOICE PROCEDURE WAS USED WHICH MINIMIZED THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE BIASES UPON PERCEPTUAL ACCURACY. AFFECTIVE CONNOTATIONS OF THE STIMULI (RANDOM FORMS) WERE ESTABLISHED THROUGH SUCCESS-FAILURE MANIPULATIONS. ALL SS WERE GIVEN A PERSONALITY-TEST BATTERY IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY REPRESSORS AND SENSITIZERS. ALTHOUGH SPECIFIC HYPOTHESES WERE NOT CONFIRMED, ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WAS OBTAINED FOR THE MORE GENERAL HYPOTHESIS THAT THE AFFECT OF A STIMULUS INFLUENCES ITS PERCEPTIBILITY. A PERCEPTUAL SENSITIZATION EFFECT WAS MANIFEST FOR THE 1ST 1/3 OF THE EXPERIMENT. THE PERSONALITY SCALES FAILED, HOWEVER, TO PREDICT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO THIS EFFECT.
