Emg Feedback

For 6 male and 6 female college students (22.5 yr.) EMGs were recorded from the frontalis for 5 days during 4 10-min. periods of EMG-feedback on Days 1 to 4 while repeating a mantra or relaxing. Significantly lower frontalis EMG on Day 5 occurred while subjects repeated the mantra although the actual difference was too small to be of clinical value.

Present Pilot Study

The present pilot study examined psychosexual fixations and defense mechanisms in a sample of young Japanese women. The Lexical Rorschach count and the Defense Mechanisms Inventory were administered to 24 female college students. Sadism on the Lexical Rorschach count was positively correlated with Reversal of Affect. Phallic fixation on the Lexical Rorschach count was positively correlated with Projection. Psychoanalytic hypotheses about the associations between psychosexual fixations and defense mechanisms were partially confirmed.
