Test-retest reliability and sex differences when viewed in a distorted room were investigated. The presence of the Honi phenomenon, which is less change in apparent size of a spouse than of a stranger, was examined. A reliability coefficient was obtained by testing 27 college men twice. Judgments of size from 25 of the men and 25 women who viewed black disc targets and also from 10 women viewing husbands' and strangers' photographs were compared. The reliability was high, .87. Sex difference was significant. Women's larger reading was interpreted as a more meaningful or valuable perception of things than men's. The Honi phenomenon does not exist.
