The concept of defensive projection suggests that when people are motivated to avoid seeing certain faults in themselves, they contrive instead to see those same faults in others. This concept helps to explain why many people regard their rivals and opponents as exploitative and unscrupulous, and also how people form stereotypes of groups whose members they scarcely know. In this project, a new framework is being developed for understanding when and how people become prone to seeing in other people the qualities they would least like in themselves. The research is aimed at developing a deeper understanding of the relationship between trait possession and defensive projection. Projection plays an important role in interpersonal problems. Similarly, other social scientists have speculated that projection is a psychological process that contributes to intergroup hostility and conflict. Designing effective interventions to ameliorate the pain and distress caused by projection will depend on a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying it and the circumstances in which it is likely to occur.

防御性投射的概念表明，当人们有动机避免看到自己的某些错误时，他们就会设法看到别人也有同样的错误。这个概念有助于解释为什么许多人认为他们的竞争对手和反对者是剥削性的和不择手段的，也解释了人们如何对他们几乎不认识的群体形成刻板印象。在这个项目中，正在开发一个新的框架，以了解人们何时以及如何容易在别人身上看到他们最不喜欢的品质。该研究旨在更深入地了解特质拥有与防御投射之间的关系。投射在人际关系问题中起着重要作用。同样，其他社会科学家推测，投射是一种导致群体间敌意和冲突的心理过程。设计有效的干预措施来减轻投射造成的痛苦和困扰将取决于对其背后机制以及可能发生的情况的更好理解。
