Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file gathers 11 documents on MKULTRA Subproject 115, dated from 1960 onward. It holds invoice checklists, funding authorizations, payment memoranda signed for the TSD/Research Branch, an expenditure accounting, and a research proposal. The subproject funded a one-year study of the interaction between the mentally disturbed and their environment, costing about $4,085. The stated Agency interest was insight into factors influencing human behavior, and the researchers were to remain unwitting of the sponsor. None of the material concerns UFOs.

the neighbour probably describes the general attitudes of the community in the first place; the follow worker a.min throws light on the question from the standpoint of an outsider who has to deal with a mentally ill person by force of circumstances. ## b) research methods An attempt will be made to attain the objectives of the study by including in the testing of each subject: 1) full anamnestic data with particular attention to the attitudes of the mentally ill toward other people; 2) attitudes of others measured by scales in which the following aspects will be considered: ideas about the genocide, suicibility, duration and recidivation of mental diseases; ideas about the dangerousness of the mentally ill person and about his treatment; the attitude toward psychiatric personnel; knowledge about treatment possibilities, etc.; 3) measures of norm conflicts, cross pressures, etc.; 4) some "paper and pencil"-type personality test. Furthermore, all available statistical and other data will naturally be put to use. The methods of analysis are discussed. The methods of analysis are difficult to describe in detail at this stage of research. However, some of the data can be analyzed by the aid of factor analysis and different types of scaling methods. Some important hypotheses can be drawn from the results of small group research. It does not seem suitable to present a coherent theoretical scheme at this stage. ## Jo. Dine schedule The study is planned as a thirty-four month project from the initial planning to completion of analysis. The time is to be allocated as follows: X. Initial planning Further development of problems and hypotheses, consult of questionnaires and other devices, collection) Month of Time Five months Tentative Dates June-October 1960 11.
