HABIT FORMATION AND FEELING QUALITIES 317 



the neutral (0) reports decreased rather than increased with 

 practice in all cases except with subject J. Third, that the U 

 ( ) qualities exhibit no uniform tendency, with some, as A, E, 

 F, I, J, and D, the U reports ("series") tend to decrease with 

 practice; but with K, B, C, and G the U reports increase slightly. 

 Fourth, that the P reports ("series") increased with the major- 

 ity of the subjects, viz., with A, E, F, G, I, and D. 



The steady decline in the neutral(O) judgments, the relatively 

 small increase in P feeling-judgments and the absence of any 

 marked mutation on the whole were not anticipated. If the 

 feeling judgments had been made earlier in the practice, before 

 the movements had become so well integrated, the mutation of 

 feelings would doubtless have been greater. 



Here attention centers on the correlation between the af- 

 fective character of movements and the number of inhibitions 

 (hold-ups) involved. In table 7 arrays are made in ascending 

 order of P and U reports, respectively, on the feeling qualities 

 of 51 movements regardless of substitution of suit and of dir- 

 ection. To the right of the feeling arrays are the columns of 

 "hold-ups" and errors. A mere inspection of the array of P 

 reports and "hold-ups" shows minus or inverse correlation, or 

 the more pleasant the movements the less frequent the inhi- 

 bitions. The correlation computed by Pearson's "Product- 

 moments" method gave r = -0.54 with a P. E. of 0.0678. The 

 array of the U reports and corresponding "hold-ups" in the same 

 table suggest a positive correlation; the inhibitions increase as 

 the number of U reports of the movements. The coefficient, r 

 = 0.48 with a P. E. or 0.072. The correlation of errors with 

 their respective P and U reports was so slight as to be negligible, 

 the P giving a minus and U a positive. 



Since the substitution of suit excited U feelings and imposed 

 a handicap on the movements, it became necessary to consider 

 those movements unaccompanied by substitution. Accordingly 

 "hold-ups" (inhibitions) were correlated with the respective P 

 and U feeling qualities of 25 movements unaffected by substitu- 

 tion (the exceptions have already been noted). The P move- 

 ments, free from substitution, gave a higher negative correlation,
