The reliability of selecting the colors used in the Luscher Color Test over a 45-day period is reported. First and last colors selected were most reliable. All other selections were lower but significantly correlated except the third and fourth selections which were not significant. Significant differences in percentage of color preferences for the first and seventh selections were found between those reported by Luscher for a large European sample of male college students and the present sample of 98 college students. Colors differing for samples were red, green, yellow and grey. Reliability, although somewhat low, appears comparable to that reported for other projective techniques. Interpretations based upon the descriptions by Luscher should, however, be carefully weighed considering the differences found for color preferences between the European and the present U.S. samples.

A survey of 236 undergraduates was conducted to assess preference for sex of firstborn. Respondents also indicated their support for the women's movement and their willingness to use sex-selection techniques when these become available. Results confirm earlier findings of significant preference for boys by both female and male college students, although almost half of all respondents indicated they had no preference. There was no relationship between support of the women's movement and sex preference by females in this sample, but those males who indicated “strong support” were unanimous in indicating no preference for sex of firstborn. Among students who indicated a willingness to use sex-choice technology there was an overwhelming preference for boys. Possible implications of these stated choices were discussed, as were limitations of the present sample.

Liking scores for hostile, sexual, and nontendentious cartoons were correlated with personality factor scores of 20 female and 19 male college students. Sexual cartoons were liked more by males, especially by those tending to be tough or group-dependent, than by females, especially by those with higher general intelligence. Nonsense cartoons were liked more by females, especially by those with lower general intelligence.
