Projective and role methods
A key feature of projective methods is the presentation of a sufficiently indefinite object, activity, situation or people that respondents should interpret, explain, or supplement. The greater the uncertainty, the more fully people project themselves in this interpretation – their implicit attitudes, prejudices, feelings, fears, and so on.
Projective techniques are used when respondents are supposed to be unable or unwilling to give accurate answers.
Such situations may arise if we are interested in:
- Reasons and / or motivation for a certain behavior, attitude, opinion;
- The meaning that people attach to their own and others’ actions and statements;
- Implicit and unconscious motives and interpretations of certain events, actions, statements.
