TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Visual spatial perception and paternal deprivation JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Krasnoff, Alan G. A1 - Walker, James T. SP - 555 EP - 557 VL - 4 IS - 5 N2 - College men and women who were father deprived for at least 1 year from birth to 18 years of age or non-deprived were compared on the Spatial Relations Test of the Differential Aptitude Tests (DAT), the Identical Blocks Test (IBT) and the Water Level Test (WLT). There was a significant sex difference favoring men--as expected--on the IBT and WLT but not on the DAT. There was no significant effect of father deprivation on the mean performance on any test but there was a correlation between years of deprivation and WLT performance for men (r = 0.48,P lt 0.001). No other correlation between deprivation and test performance was significant.
