Personality dimensions measured by projective techniques: a formulation based on structural analysis.

It is suggested that a better understanding and more effective use of projective techniques can be achieved by viewing each test in terms of the depth of personality assessed and its unique amalgamation of emotional and intellectual aspects of personality. With these considerations in mind, a refurbished definition of a projective test is presented and implications for the phenomenon of projection are discussed.

Use of a projective technique to assess young children's appraisal and coping responses to a venipuncture.

PURPOSE: To examine the appraisal, emotional and coping responses of young hospitalized children to three phases of a venipuncture procedure. DESIGN: Exploratory, descriptive. SETTING: Pediatric unit of a community hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Four- to 9-year-old hospitalized children (N = 45). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Data were obtained by means of a projective technique and interview format. Content analysis of the children's responses was guided by the use of four published measures (appraisal, behavioral coping strategies, cognitive coping strategies, and helpful interventions). RESULTS: The children appraised each phase of the venipuncture as a threat, a benefit, or a threat/benefit. The most frequently identified behavioral coping strategies were self-protective behaviors and returning to normal activities. The most frequently identified cognitive coping behaviors were reality-oriented working through, emotion-regulating cognitions, and diversionary thinking. The children reported the most helpful intervention as providing information about the event. CONCLUSION: The children were able, through a projective technique, to appraise a venipuncture and spontaneously identify many cognitive and behavioral coping strategies and interventions to help them manage a venipuncture.

Optimization of auxiliary basis sets for the LEDO expansion and a projection technique for LEDO-DFT.

We present a systematic procedure for the optimization of the expansion basis for the limited expansion of diatomic overlap density functional theory (LEDO-DFT) and report on optimized auxiliary orbitals for the Ahlrichs split valence plus polarization basis set (SVP) for the elements H, Li--F, and Na--Cl. A new method to deal with near-linear dependences in the LEDO expansion basis is introduced, which greatly reduces the computational effort of LEDO-DFT calculations. Numerical results for a test set of small molecules demonstrate the accuracy of electronic energies, structural parameters, dipole moments, and harmonic frequencies. For larger molecular systems the numerical errors introduced by the LEDO approximation can lead to an uncontrollable behavior of the self-consistent field (SCF) process. A projection technique suggested by Löwdin is presented in the framework of LEDO-DFT, which guarantees for SCF convergence. Numerical results on some critical test molecules suggest the general applicability of the auxiliary orbitals presented in combination with this projection technique. Timing results indicate that LEDO-DFT is competitive with conventional density fitting methods.

[What drugs users say and do not say, using experiences and the projective technique].

This study aimed to get to know some visible and hidden meanings in drugs users' experience. The interviews were associated with the Projective Technique (free and thematic drawing), based on which we analyzed the subjective content and what was expressed by the users. The results demonstrated the existence of family deterioration, stigma and prejudice.
