Effect of Test Sensitization and Knowledge about Self-Actualization on Taking the Personal Orientation Inventory

One hundred and thirty-two American college students were employed in a Solomon 4 group design to assess the susceptibility of scores on the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) to knowledge about self-actualization (SA) and to possible test sensitization effects. Results indicated that POI scores were increased only by the main effect of knowledge about SA. These results were discussed in terms of previous research dealing with these two non-therapy factors.
