The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between laboratory induced anxiety and frustration on m, Y, FY, and YF Rorschach responses. Forty-eight subjects, 16 male subjects and 32 female subjects, ranging in age from 19 to 43 years of age were selected for this study. All subjects were enrolled in a psychology course for the summer term of 1991 at Eastern Illinois University. Frustration was induced by erroneously telling subjects that most people could solve the Tower of Hanoi puzzle in 5 minutes then giving the subjects a 5 minute time limit. Anxiety was induced by telling the subjects that they would receive several mild electric shocks after the testing. Subjects were divided into four groups. Group 1 was the control group, group 2 was the frustration condition, group 3 was the anxiety condition, and group 4 received both the frustration and anxiety conditions. The Rorschach Inkblot Test and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were administered to all of the subjects. A one-way analysis indicated that state anxiety was produced as measured by the STAI A-State scale (F (1, 45)=5.19, p \u3e.05). Two two-way analyses of variance were conducted on the influence of anxiety and frustration on inanimate movement responses and shading responses. No significant main effects or interactions were observed. Pearson-product moment correlations, however, did reveal significant correlations between STAI A-State scores and inanimate movement responses, shading responses, and number of responses. This indicates that some possible relationship may exist outside of the experimental manipulations
