The process of perception of music is considered from the point of view of projective psychology. Musical percepts of schoolchildren belonging to two different social groups (delinquents and pupils from ordinary schools) have been compared. Distinct differences in images, plots, and associations provoked in subjects of these two groups can be observed. While those of delinquents are characterized by all kinds of agressive and sexual tendencies, in sufficiently well adapted socially schoolchildren the images they experience typically have social orientation. The projective technique appears promising for the study of the relationship between the structure of personality and peculiarities of individual musical percepts.
