This book describes a new type of behavior that occurs under conditions of frustration. It presents the experimental evidence for new behavior principles, integrates them with other known principles of frustration, shows the impact of the combined principles of frustration on psychological theory, and tests the theory by indicating how it affects our practical approach to problems of behavior.

Frustration is an important aspect of everyday life, yet there are few techniques available to assess individual reactions to frustration. In addition, we have little experimental evidence on which to predict behavioral reactions to frustration based on generalizations drawn from the assessments we are able to make. A purpose of the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Suday is to assess or determine the characteristic way an individual responds to frustration. Thus, a study of average individuals, previously assessed for reaction to frustration, under controlled experimental conditions would give some explicit information regarding the tenability of predictions based upon this instrument. The attempt was made to keep the frustration task within reasonable expectancy of ongoing behavior of the subjects. The hypothesis was examined that the category of response to the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study, basically, the direction of aggression, extrapunitive, intopunitive, or impunitive, corresponds to differences in reaction and adaptation to frustration. The data indicated by performance variation of the Verbal Reasoning test of the Differential Aptitude Test administered under control and experimental conditions did not support this hypothesis. Suggestions were made as to the limitations of the technique used. The degree to which the Picture-Frustration Study may be amenable to statistical analysis, and the complex of motivation and frustration were discussed.
