This study tested the general hypotheses that small homogeneous groups of sensitizers and repressers would differentially judge the performance of their groups following exposure to failure and success evaluation. This expectation was not confirmed, although previous research with individual repressers and sensitizers has consistently shown differences in response to anxiety-arousing stimuli. It was suggested that group factors may constitute a set of mitigating conditions that intervene between the induction of stimuli and their effects on the manifest productions of personality.

The article focuses on the importance of the two-year study of the Commission on Marine Science, Engineering and Resources for the national ocean program to establish an independent national oceanic and atmospheric agency in the U.S. Implicit to the recommendation is the rejection of the Department of the Interior as a suitable home for civilian oceanography programs. The Department of the Interior intends to play a major role in this regard by exploring and developing the Nation's marine resources so that these new markets will be economically viable. Theo judgment has been endorsed by most qualified observers in public testimony on legislation creating such an agency.
