The effects of marijauna on verbalization and thought processes.

The verbal output of subjects in response to 10 cards of the TAT was obtained on two occasions and under placebo, marijauna low and high conditions. The themes were independently rated on 13 variables reflecting thought processes, emotional tone, control aggression, and sexual content by two judges. Significant differential dosage differences were obtained in terms of disruption of cognitive processes, and emotional tone. Moreover, a multivariate analysis yielded a significant discrimination among the three experimental conditions.

Personality characteristics in heroin addicts and nonaddicted prisoners using the Edwards Personality Preference Schedule.

The present study compares the self-reported personality characteristics of heroin addict and nonaddict prisoners using the Edwards Personality Preference Schedule (EPPS) which was corrected for social desirability. Seventy pairs of addicted and nonaddicted criminal offenders were matched for age, education, intelligence, and home environment. The addicted offenders were identified by the pattern of their response to the EPPS as reflected by the significant multivariate results. In addition, significant univariate differences consistent with those previously reported were found. Addicted criminals had stronger succorance, heterosexuality, and aggression needs and less abasement and endurance needs than nonaddicted offenders. Age, educational achievment, intelligence,and home environment had little influence on the prisoners' response to this self-report personality inventory.
