We investigated the ability of defenses assessed from the Rorschach test to predict future levels of depression, anxiety, and psychosocial role functioning in a sample of adults with personality and affective disorder. In general, defenses were less powerful predictors than a descriptively oriented assessment done at the beginning of the study. However, certain defenses did have predictive value. Devaluation and, to a lesser degree, projection were associated with poor outcome in areas of affective disturbance and social relations, whereas intellectualization, isolation, reaction formation, and pollyannish denial were associated with better outcome on these measures.
我们在一组患有个性与情感障碍的成年人样本中，研究了从罗夏测试评估出的防御机制预测未来抑郁、焦虑水平以及心理社会角色功能的能力。总体而言，与研究开始时进行的描述性评估相比，防御机制作为预测指标的效力较弱。然而，某些防御机制确实具有预测价值。贬低以及程度稍轻的投射，与情感障碍和社会关系方面的不良结果相关，而理智化、隔离、反向形成和盲目乐观的否认则与这些指标上的较好结果相关。
