Projective techniques are unusual and often intriguing for respondents to complete, permitting them to express thoughts and feelings which can be difŽ cult to access by direct and structured questioning. This is achieved by presenting respondents with ambiguous verbal or visual stimulus materials, such as bubble cartoons, which they need to make sense of by drawing from their own experiences, t...

This paper examines a newly created approach to exploring travel motivations, the Travel Career Patterns (TCP) model. Through an analysis of the TCP model, the authors advance travel motivation theory by making three contributions: a refinement of the definition of travel experience; the use and evaluation of essays as a qualitative tool for interpreting travel motives; and an extension of the ...

Misattributions people make about their own affective reactions can be used to measure attitudes implicitly. Combining the logic of projective tests with advances in priming research, the affect misattribution procedure (AMP) was sensitive to normatively favorable and unfavorable evaluations (Experiments 1-4), and the misattribution effect was strong at both fast and slow presentation rates (Ex...

Logically, though not historically, projective techniques must be regarded as a part of the general field of psychological measurement. Projective testing and research may therefore legitimately be studied within the theoretical and methodologicall framework of psychological measurement, always keeping in mind, of course, the problems that are peculiar to projective techniques. Largely as a.. r...

One proves a far-reaching upper bound for the degree of generically finite rational map between projective varieties over base field arbitrary characteristic. The is expressed as product certain degrees that appear naturally by considering Rees algebra (blowup) ideal defining map. Several special cases are obtained consequences, some which cover and extend previous results in literature.

By a theorem due to Kato and Ohtake, any (not necessarily strict) Morita context induces an equivalence between appropriate subcategories of the module categories of the two rings in the Morita context. These are in fact categories of firm modules for non-unital subrings. We apply this result to various Morita contexts associated to a comodule Σ of an A-coring C. This allows to extend (weak and...

The extended projective disc is Riemannian at ordinary points, Lorentzian at ideal points, and singular on the absolute. Harmonic fields on this metric can be interpreted as the hodograph image of extremal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. This suggests an approach to generalized Plateau problems in 3-dimensional space-time via Hodge theory on the extended projective disc. Boundary-value problems ...

A class of elliptic-hyperbolic equations is placed in the context of a geometric variational theory, in which the change of type is viewed as a change in the character of an underlying metric. A fundamental example of a metric which changes in this way is the extended projective disc, which is Riemannian at ordinary points, Lorentzian at ideal points, and singular on the absolute. Harmonic fiel...

Definition 1. The category Mot∼ is the Karoubian envelope (or idempotent completion) of the quotient of Mot ∼ by the ideal consisting of morphisms factoring through an object of the form M ⊗L, where L is the Lefschetz motive. This is a tensor additive category. If M ∈ Mot ∼ , we denote by M̄ its image in Mot∼. Lemma 1 ([6, Lemmas 5.3 and 5.4]). Let X, Y be two smooth projective irreducible k-var...
