The results are as follows; (1) 19% of the subjects replied that they prefered to tell the truth and 6% of the subjects usually did not tell the truth . The rest (75%) replied that it depended on the case and circum stances. In another aspect the author found that 19% to 69% of the subjects had the tendency to tell the truth , 6% to 12% of the subjects had the tendency not to tell the truth , and 75% to 19% of th e subjects h a d no d e fin ite policy. T he attitudes of the subjects seemed not to have been affected by their religion, marital status and clinical experience.
