Affective control and Rorschach human movement responses

"Previous experiments have demonstrated motor and cognitive inhibition to the behavioral correlates of Rorschach Human Movement responses. The present study extends the relationship of M and inhibition ability further to include the control of affective impulses as well. An impulse to laugh was induced, and Ss instructed to refrain from any affective expression. In support of the hypothesis, more high M than low M subjects were successful at inhibiting any overt expression of the experimentally induced affect."
