title: The projection questionnaire: design, use and utility.
abstract: Projection is a widespread mechanism of defence. It is an important issue in a number of anthropological researches. To estimate changes in intensity and flexibility of the projection a measuring instrument is unavoidable.
  
  
  METHODS
  To standardise the questionnaire answers of 250 examinees were used. They were divided in two independent groups. Group 1 consisted of 125 patients treated at Clinic for Psychological Medicine and Group 2 of 125 students in the third year of the Medical Faculty in Zagreb.
  
  
  METHODS
  To process the results a statistical package SPSS was used. A chi 2 test was employed and tables of contingency were made. A factor analysis of "The Projection Questionnaire" was employed and varimax rotation separated five factors which characteristic roots were greater than one.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A new instrument for measuring the projection, "The Projection Questionnaire", is developed and standardised. A considerable use of the projection by normal population is confirmed.
