The present study examined if there's any difference in heart rates of subjects responding to the Rorschach cards in relation to the actual patterns of control related variables. Heart rate was measured by “Polar Heart Rate Monitor System”. Subjects were 56 adult volunteers(male 29, female 27). All the responses were classified into following four groups; “responses with EA”, “responses with EA-es”, “responses with es”, and “responses without EA-es”. The results are as follows: First, The subjects' heart rates increased during the response phase of the Rorschach test. Second, the subjects' heart rates showed more increase on “responses with es” or “responses without EA-es” than “responses with EA”. Third, heart rates related to “responses with EA-es” ranked in the middle between “responses with EA” and “responses with es”. These results suggest that the pattern of EA and es, the control-related variables can be a compass giving clearer understanding of meaning of symbolic responses on the Rorschach test. Finally, need to verify these results for different clinical groups and with various physiological measures in the future.
