TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Obsessiveness and a thematic apperception test-based measure of aggression JO - Psychological reports A1 - Cogan, Rosemary A1 - Ashford, Daniel A1 - Chaney, Brett A1 - Embry, Sheena A1 - Emory, Lindsay A1 - Goebel, Holly A1 - Holstrom, Nicole A1 - Keithley, David A1 - Lawson, Miranda A1 - Mcpherson, Joe A1 - Scott, Brandon A1 - Tebbets, Jomie SP - 828 EP - 830 VL - 95 IS - 3 N2 - Freud (1909/1955) hypothesized a conflict between love and hate in obsessive neurosis. To test this relationship, we compared a Thematic Apperception Test-based measure of aggressive fantasies in college men who scored either high or low on the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised. 64 undergraduate men from beginning classes in psychology participated. Their mean age was 19.4 yr. (SD= 1.7). 16 men with high scores had significantly higher scores on a TAT-based measure of aggressive fantasies toward parents, partners, and others than 15 men with low scores, which is consistent with Freud's hypothesis.
