Abstrakt: Potential sources of antifemale bias in TAT stimuli were evaluated by having 358 undergraduate subjects rate 17 male and 17 female TAT figures on 7-point anchored scales. Data from the five independent rating conditions were examined by 2 x 2 ANOVA. Biases toward greater Mental Health and Intelligence for female figures were seen to be insufficient counterbalancers of biases toward greater Cultural Favorability and Identification for male figures. Achievement status was rated equivalently. TAT stimuli appeared to show a "built in" source of male chauvinism systematically "pulling" male-sex identification. Potential for unfavorable clinical evaluation was seen to be greater for female TAT subjects compared with male subjects.
