Abstract

The relationship between perceptual sensitivity and stimulus emotionality was investigated employing a methodology aimed to preclude the intervention of response variables. Forty‐six subjects estimated the relative brightness of pairs of physically identical light signals superimposed on subliminal words presented below the awareness threshold. Byrne's Repression‐Sensitization scale was used as a possible personality correlate. Results supported the perceptual defence hypothesis, and significant differences in modes of responding were found between sexes, and categories on the R‐S scale.
