A subliminal psychodynamic activation experiment was conducted in which the effects of five subliminal stimuli were sought on the dart-throwing performance of male subjects. The stimuli consisted of the following messages, each accompanied by a congruent picture: BEATING DAD IS OK, BEATING DAD IS WRONG, BEATING HIM IS OK, BEATING HIM IS WRONG, and PEOPLE ARE WALKING. The first two stimuli were intended to activate competitive motives within the context of the Oedipus complex; the next two, competitive motives outside that context; and the last was intended as a control stimulus. BEATING DAD IS OK led to greater dart-throwing accuracy than each of the other four conditions, which in turn did not differ from each other. This finding replicated a result reported by Silverman, L. H., Ross, D., Adler, J., and Lustig, D. (J. Abnorm. Psychol., 87: 341-357, 1978) and is in keeping with the formulation that the activation of oedipal motives can affect competitive performance. Neither a subject variable (fear of success) nor the differential effects of two experimenters was found to interact with stimulus conditions in affecting dart scores.
进行了一项阈下心理动力激活实验，旨在探究五种阈下刺激对男性受试者掷飞镖表现的影响。刺激包括以下信息，每条信息都配有一张相符的图片：“打爸爸没关系”、“打爸爸不对”、“打他没关系”、“打他不对”以及“人们在走路”。前两种刺激旨在在俄狄浦斯情结的背景下激活竞争动机；接下来的两种刺激旨在在该背景之外激活竞争动机；最后一种作为对照刺激。“打爸爸没关系”比其他四种条件下的任何一种都能带来更高的掷飞镖准确性，而其他四种条件之间没有差异。这一发现重复了西尔弗曼、L.H.、罗斯、D.、阿德勒、J.和卢斯蒂格、D.（《变态心理学杂志》，87: 341 - 357，1978）所报告的结果，并且与俄狄浦斯动机的激活会影响竞争表现这一表述相符。未发现受试者变量（对成功的恐惧）或两位实验者的不同影响在影响飞镖得分时与刺激条件产生相互作用。
