Rorschach protocols of 20 oasis and 28 urban Arabs "when viewed in relation to seclusion practices, discipline of children, and religious beliefs, show a consistent pattern, namely that attenuation of traditional beliefs in the urbanized Arabs is related to increasing intrapsychic tensions that are expressed in symbolic form in Rorschach content . . . . The minority position of the more acculturated urbanized Arab is reflected in internalized personality adoptions in which the social environment is more directly experienced as hostile and threatening . . . . The fact that . . . [New York City Negroes] show similar Rorschach patterns of personality integration is highly suggestive for understanding the effects of minority group status on individual integration where pronounced rejection by the dominant group makes actual assimilation impossible."
