Abstract

The psychological mechanisms of externalizing and internalizing are compared with those of the defenses of projection and identification, in a sample of 91 young adults. The results indicate that externalizing and projection are positively correlated for males, but not for females. Internalizing and identification were found to be negatively related for both males and females. This unexpected finding is discussed.
