本研究探讨了因果投射和相似投射在控制自尊威胁应激中的有效性。为了诱导自尊受到威胁，一半的受试者被告知他们在一项重要的成就测试中表现不佳，而其余的受试者则没有被告知他们表现不佳。通过鼓励受试者将他们表现不佳的原因归咎于考官而不是自己（因果投射），或者估计他们的朋友在测试中的成绩会有多差，如果他们参加了测试，并且表现不好（相似性投射）。主观焦虑、抑郁和愤怒的测量结果表明：（a）测试情境和负反馈在增加压力方面是有效的，（B）因果投射在控制压力方面是有效的，（c）相似投射在控制压力方面是部分有效的。结果提供的证据表明，因果投影可以有效地控制压力，也有影响的条件下，使用投影将和将不会有效地应对压力。强调了情境因素对认知应对策略有效性的重要性。
The effectiveness of causal projection and similarity projection in controlling stress associated with threat to self-esteem was investigated. To induce threat to self-esteem, half of the subjects were told that they had done poorly on an important achievement test while the remaining subjects were not told that they had done poorly. The projection strategies were manipulated by encouraging subjects to attribute the cause of their poor performance to the examiner instead of to themselves (causal projection) or to estimate how poorly their friends would have scored on the test had they taken it and not performed well on it (similarity projection). Measures of subjective anxiety, depression, and anger indicated that (a) the testing situation and negative feedback were effective in increasing stress, (b) causal projection was effective in controlling stress, and (c) similarity projection was partially effective in controlling stress. The results provide evidence that causal projection can be effective in controlling stress and also have implications concerning the conditions under which the use of projection will and will not be effective for coping with stress. The importance that situational factors may have on the effectiveness of cognitive coping strategies was emphasized.
