분노-억압 집단의 방어적 투사 = The defensive projection of anger-repression group

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study examined if the anger-repression group showed defensive projection in accordance with the psycho-dynamic theory and the thought suppression theory. The subjects were 55 undergraduates(male 29, female 26) who were taking a cultural course of Psychology. They were divided into 3 groups(high anger group, low anger group, anger-repression group) by the multimethod using MMPI and the Rorschach test. The each group was asked to rate the actor having done certain violent behavior. The results are as follows. The anger-repression group showed substantially higher scores on the ratings of psychological discrimination against others under the violent condition than the other two groups. It can be interpreted that the higher the score is, the more negative the judgement is. Therefore, the anger-repression group classified by the multimethod seems to have a biased interpersonal perception, namely defensive projection. The clinical meaning of anger-repression and suggestions for psychological interventions were discussed.
