Relationship of kinesthetic figural aftereffect to masculinity-femininity and expectation for internal versus external control of reinforcement

60 introductory psychology students (30 male, 30 female) were administered KFAE in ascending and descending trials, using both dominant and non-dominant hands, followed by an embedded-figures test and 145 items from personality tests (Masculinity-Femininity scale of Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey, Rotter I-E Scale, and the combined self-actualization scale of Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory). Hand dominance but not sex affected KFAE. No stable relation appeared between the personality measures and spatial aftereffect from kinesthetic stimulation for men or women.
