Research Project Results RESULTS In order to test the stud

In order to test the study's two research hypotheses, frequencies of white-space responses to Rorschach Cards I, II, and VII were analyzed at two levels of Gender (male and female) and two levels of Age of Cards (old and new) using the two-way analysis of variance statistic. Descriptive statistics (cell means, marginal means, standard deviations), as well as the findings observed for the performed analysis of variance, are presented in Table 1.

As can be seen from inspection of this table, only one finding was significant. This finding was a main effect observed for the Age of Card variable (F=5.13; df=1;56; p=.0274). Marginal means revealed the nature of the observed main effect. Specifically, the frequency of white space responses was observed to be significantly higher for new cards (Mean=1.20) than for old cards (Mean=0.70).

Significant findings were not observed for the Gender variable. In other words, regardless of whether they were exposed to new or to old cards, males and females responded in roughly the same way.

One further point that needs to be noted with respect to the study's findings concerns the F value observed for the Card by Gender interaction. This value (F = 2.76) was not significant at the .05 level; however, it was sufficiently high (p = .1023) that it seems possible that the value could signal a trend in the direction of an interaction of the Gender and Age of Card

variables. Regarding this trend, the direction appears to be such that females, with a larger number of white space responses than males for the new cards do not show a large difference in white space responses from...
