The stories had to be based on a series of illustrations, however, such as one where “a woman has her hands squeezed around the throat of another woman whom she appears to be pushing backwards across the banister of a stairway.”[1] Around the same time, another psychologist named Starke Hathaway asked subjects to reply “True,” “False,” or “Cannot Say” to a collection of 550 items, including “If the money were right, I would like to work for a circus or carnival.”[2] Within the answers to such questions, both men saw the key to understanding the human personality. Murray’s personality test was a “projective” one premised on human irrationality and complexity, whereas Hathaway’s was rigidly empirical, premised on human rationality and transparency. Despite the dubious nature of these tests and their strikingly dierent aims and assumptions about human nature and how to measure it, both soon achieved a wild popularity among personality psychologists across the globe.

Muncie, Indiana. Inspired by immensely influential Depression-era sociological studies by Robert and Helen Lynd - Middletown: A Study in Modern American Culture (1929) and Middletown in Transition: A Study in Cultural Conflicts (1937) - this series of films made for PBS in 1982 transforms the Middletown studies into an unprecedented overview of American life seen through the prisms of local politics, high school sports, a family business, religion, marriage and divorce, and (at the time still explosively) interracial dating. Producer’s Statement: MIDDLETOWN was intended to search for continuity and change in American life as embodied in the people, institutions and core values of a single community.
