PSY 328 Module Two Journal Template First, you may want to revisit your submission for the Module One Journal assignment. Next, complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Describe what a psychoanalyst like Freud or Jung would be looking for in the responses to a projective test like the Thematic Apperception Test. Your response should be 2 to 5 sentences in length. [Insert text] Using the lens of a psychoanalyst, reflect on your Module One Journal responses by answering the following questions in 2 to 5 sentences each: o Describe what role your unconscious might have played in your responses. Are there any defense mechanisms present in your story? My unconscious mind allowed me to look at the picture given with minimal context and create an entire scenario surrounding it. Because there was no context, my brain was allowed to explore with no limits and that speaks to where my subconscious goes. In my story, the person pictured if faced with a conflict and we see their conflict resolution skills. They decided to talk it out with a peer and then go to someone higher up. My unconscious mind created a victim turned fighter, in a sense. o Describe how you characterized any underlying conflicts present in your story. Think about drives and the parts of personality (id, ego superego) in your response. [Insert text] o Describe how you characterized the interactions of the people in your story. What could this tell us about attachment and relationships? There are 3 interactions of the people in my story. It starts with the interaction between a teacher and the student pictured. It was a negative interaction which caused them to talk to their peer. By doing this, the student confided and leaned in their peer for support. Within that same interaction, the peer, listened to the student and suggested they talk to someone they felt safe with, their counselor. This could tell us that the attachment the peers have to each other as well as their counselor is a healthy one and they feel secure in it. o Describe how much your own life experience informed the story you told. After breaking down my story into these sections and analyzing. I can see so much of my own life experience informed the story I told. There are so many times in life that I feel embarrassed, misunderstood, or overlooked and my initial response is to let it get to me. I’ve always found comfort in other people whether it was friends or family, and this often helped me feel empowered to face what once got to me. Although I haven’t finished the story, I can imagine that it may have gone in the direction of the student fighting for change in their school. After considering the role of the unconscious and projection in the story you told, describe another interpretation for your image. Your response should be 2 to 5 sentences in length. 1
Another interpretation of the image is that >>> Describe what a greater awareness of projection means for other interactions you might have with people in a social or professional setting. Your response should be 2 to 5 sentences in length. A greater awareness of projection means being more aware of when biases occur. It is very easy for projection to happen when there is little context given. I’ve learned just from this assignment alone, that it can happen unintentionally. Because there is a risk of unintentional projection, it is important for us to be able to quickly recognize it. 2
