The interrelationships among body-image stereotypes, body type preferences, and body weight were examined. Three male silhouettes, depicting extreme endomorphy, mesomorphy, and ectomorphy, were rated by 17 overweight, 17 underweight, and 17 normal weight male college Ss on 21 bipolar traits of temperament. The mesomorph was perceived by all Ss as more active, energetic, and dominant, whereas the endomorph and ectomorph were both rated as more withdrawn, shy, and dependent. No relationship was found between body-image stereotypes and Ss' body weight, although all Ss expressed a preference to look like the mesomorph silhouette. It was suggested that cultural influences and the role of body dissatisfaction may serve as crucial mediators in accounting for the results.

Liking scores for hostile, sexual, and nontendentious cartoons were correlated with personality factor scores of 20 female and 19 male college students. Sexual cartoons were liked more by males, especially by those tending to be tough or group-dependent, than by females, especially by those with higher general intelligence. Nonsense cartoons were liked more by females, especially by those with lower general intelligence.
