Our working hypothesis for this study is that religious persons show a stronger tendency to inner adjustment in frustrated situations because the religious phenomena are greatly concerned with the conditions of the depth of personality;that they have an affirmative attitude towards`sorrows'`troubles'which are commonly considered to be undesirable and unpleasant ;that they lay much stress on the inner state of mind. For an accurate verification of our hypotheses,free association test on stimulus words and T.A.T.type test using photos with various meanings are conducted,some of the results of which are introduced in this paper.
