The current study tested the hypothesis that mothers who have experienced child maltreatment and aggression within their adult relationships may be at particular risk for misinterpreting infant emotions, leading to less sensitive parenting behaviors. Participants were 120 pregnant women recruited for a larger, longitudinal study investigating the role of psychosocial and environmental risk on w...

Projective tests are considered to uncover unconscious emotions while avoiding psychological resistance. However, the results of projective tests may be affected by conscious emotions. This study investigates whether self-disclosure, which is a conscious factor, affected the results of a sentence completion test (SCT), which is a projective test. Eighty-five university students completed a ques...

In this paper we consider type-preserving representations of the fundamental group three-holed projective plane into Projective Linear Group $\operatorname{PGL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and study connected components with non-maximal euler class. We show that in class zero for all such there is a simple closed curve which non-hyperbolic, while $\pm 1$ are $6$ where curves sent to hyperbolic elements $2$ ...

Projective techniques continue to be widely used by school psychologists despite frequent criticisms of their use. This article reviews contemporary validity issues in the use of projective techniques with children and adolescents, including incremental validity, treatment validity, and problems associated with professional judgment and experience. A discussion of these issues and their implica...

The term "projective tests" is customarily applied to several of the sharpest and most valuable weapons in the clinical psychologist's armoury. Some of these?the Rorschach test, for example?are well known; others are not, and indeed some depend for their effectiveness upon their deceptive similarity to verbal intelligence tests. There are, nevertheless, essential differences between them and th...

This book is a major contribution to the literature on delinquency. Professor Merrill surveys the resources of the clinician in the tasks of assessing social environment and understanding delinquent personalities; and she describes the use of intelligence tests and projective techniques. The behaviour of delinquent children is understandable only in terms of the basic needs of the individual ch...

For each integer $k \in [0,9]$, we count the number of plane cubic curves defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ that do not share common component and intersect in exactly $k\ \mathbb{F}_q$-rational points. We set this up as problem about weight enumerator certain projective Reed-Muller code. The main inputs to proof include counting pairs component, configurations points fail impose indep...

Given a singular projective variety in some space, we characterize the smooth curves contracted by Gauss map terms of normal bundles. As consequence, show that if is not linear, then line always has local obstruction for embedded deformation and each component Hilbert scheme where lies non-reduced everywhere.

We show that any birational map between projective hyperKähler manifolds of dimension 4 is composed of a sequence of simple flops or elementary Mukai transformations under the assumption that each irreducible component of the indeterminacy of the birational map is normal. §
