Further studies on deprivation/enhancement patterns.
Four studies were done to explore the construct validity of a previously established sex difference in TAT fantasy patterns. The results, both with various clinical groups and with normal children, support the notion that Deprivation/Enhancement fantasy patterns are meaningfully related to sexual identity and sex role development. The correlates of extreme D/E patterns are more clear for women than for men and involve elements of the "hysterical" character and cognitive style.
