	Comparative psychology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Strictly speaking, comparative psychology ought to involve the use of a comparative method, in which similar studies are carried out on animals of different species, and the results interpreted in terms of their different phylogenetic or ecological backgrounds.
		Throughout the long history of comparative psychology, repeated attempts have been made to enforce this more disciplined approach, especially since the rise of ethology in the mid twentieth century, and behavioral ecology in the 1970s gave a more solid base of knowledge against which a true comparative psychology could develop.
		However, the broader use of the term "comparative psychology" is enshrined in the names of learned societies and academic journals, not to mention in the minds of psychologists of other specialisms, so it is never like to disappear completely.

	Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology: Some effects of representational friction, target size, and memory ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Displacement is influenced by whether the target interacts with other stimuli in its surroundings; for example, the forward displacement of a horizontally moving target is decreased if the target slides along the surface of a larger stationary object (Hubbard, 1995a).
		Displacement may be influenced by the size of the target, but effects of target size have previously only been observed along the axis aligned with implied gravitational attraction (Hubbard, 1997).
		Effects of target size on displacement along the axis aligned with gravitational attraction are influenced by the direction of target motion: Increases in target size (implied weight) produce decreases in forward displacement for ascending targets and increases in forward displacement for descending targets.

	Self Psychology in Depth - Amy Feld, PsyD
		The primary psychological task, for self psychology, is the maintenance of the self, and the relationships between the self and selfobject are at the center of development from birth to death (Tolpin, 1986).
		Anger in the therapeutic relationship is not viewed as the client's displacement of past feelings, but as a vehicle for exploration of his or her subjective experiences of feeling angry.
		Self psychology stresses that transferences are not the client's confusion of the therapist as a parent, but the client's legitimate need for a new selfobject in the present to his needs for structure building (Elson, 1986).

		The induced effects are amazingly large and consistent; with a 0.5 degrees displacement and a 100 ms blank, biases for perceiving the blanked object as moving approached 100% in all subjects.
		It is important that the background displacement did not eliminate the perceptual advantage of blanking; it merely biased the judgements of displacement, which still took place with low thresholds and with the steep psychophysical functions that have characterized the blanking effect in our other experiments.
		Displacement discrimination was biased, in the sense that perceived forward target displacements were sometimes seen in the presence of backward background displacements.

	Adolescence: Displaced adolescents in Croatia: sources of stress and posttraumatic stress reaction
		While studies addressing the effect of war and displacement on younger children's development are numerous, there is a dearth of knowledge about adolescents' adjustment when under such circumstances.
		The study was undertaken in order to (1) identify sources of stress, (2) identify families and individuals with adjustment difficulties, and (3) determine the effects of supportive activities on displaced families.
		The exposure of adolescents to stressful events preceding and during displacement is presented in Table 1.

	Semen Displacement as a Sperm Competition Strategy in Humans by Gordon G. Gallup, Jr. and Rebecca L. Burch
		The magnitude of semen displacement was directly proportional to the depth of thrusting and inversely proportional to semen viscosity.
		Semen displacement as a means of competing with sperm from rival males is not an uncommon strategy in animals.
		Therefore, the tenability of the displacement hypothesis is predicated on identifying putative collateral mechanisms that serve to minimize the likelihood of self-semen displacement.

	DPX
		If a single fixating eye is displaced along a circular arc with a radius equal to the distance to the object, the geometry of the proximal stimulus is similar to KDE (rotation at a fixed distance).
		In Figure 1D the same relative displacement (or velocity) of the central point with respect to the others could arise from a shallow object with a large change of angular perspective or from a deep object with a small change in angular perspective.
		Variability in the motion parallax condition (with equivalent disparities or relative displacements that are four time larger) is comparable to that of the binocular disparity condition, with a mean of 0.12 in each case.

		The mechanism responsible for the perception of apparent motion is studied through a new phenomenon: Reverse phi motion for a displaced object without the object's displacement being accompanied by the reversal of its luminance polarity (the latter as in Anstis & Rogers, 1975).
		We have found that motion is perceived in the direction opposite to an object's displacement when the object (with greater-than-background luminance) is flanked by contiguous, static bars that are higher in luminance than the object.
		These results cannot be accounted for by the motion energy of the stimulus, which specifies motion in the direction the object is shifted, irrespective of the presence or absence of static flankers or gaps.

		The present definition of comparative psychology in the United States seems to be: all psychology dealing with animals that is not treated under learning, motivation, and physiological psychology; or, to state it another way, studies on animals that do not conveniently fit anywhere else.
		Displacement activities are those responses first encountered in a context in which their antecedents and consequents have become well understood but that also appear in other, quite different, situations where, in terms of the variables they had been related to, they make no sense.
		Displacement activities occur in conflict and frustration situations; they are often body-care behaviors.

		A second meaning of "displacement" is the device of disguising unpleasant realities to which we cannot admit (and therefore repress) by consciously stressing something else which is not so embarrassing to the ego.
		Hence psychology is the logos or study of the soul, psychotherapy attendance (therapia) upon it, and psychiatry the art of healing it (iartria).
		is a transpersonal psychology that encompasses the full spectrum of human experience, from the trauma and pathology, which demands healing, to the individual seeking integration, inspiration and spirituality.

	Sigmund Freud: The Interpretation of Dreams
		Displacement: This is where the dreamer represses an urge, and then redirects that urge to another person or object.
		If the individual were to engage in the literal dream of killing their mother-in-law (a repressed urge), the strong emotions evoked in the dream would awaken the dreamer.
		Instead of killing the mother-in-law, in displacement the dreamer might instead have the fantasy within the dream of the mother-in-law being crushed in a car accident.

	A theory of visual stability across saccadic eye movements
		Repeated large saccades lead to apparent displacements with each saccade, and even a single large saccade from one point to another, if both points are at the edge of the oculomotor range, can interfere with perceptual space constancy, as Helmholtz (1867) realized.
		Saccadic suppression of displacement masks jumps of the retinal image due to saccadic eye movements, so that perception of the sensory results of saccades is very different from the perception in a similar sensory situation caused by artificially imposed jumps of the visual world (Bridgeman 1983).
		Displacement of the entire visual field can certainly be perceived, as the eye tap experiments reviewed in section I revealed, but the stimulus is distinct from normal perception of the movements of objects in the world, and the physiological mechanism is distinct also.

	Journal of Vision - A linear cue combination framework for understanding selective attention, by Murray, Sekuler, & ...
		The x-component of each point is the total horizontal displacement of all the target dots on that trial (i.e., the sum of the horizontal displacements of the individual target dots), and the y-component is the total horizontal displacement of all the distractor dots.
		Note that the mean displacements on trials where the observer responded “right” (the green dots) are shifted upward and to the right of the mean displacements on trials where the observer responded “left” (the red dots).
		The horizontal shift indicates that the target displacement was correlated with observers’ left/right responses, and the vertical shift indicates that the distractor displacement was also correlated with observers’ responses.

	Psychology \| Clinical Psychology and its Practice -- Introduction and Subject Index
		Psychology is often described in textbooks as “the science of behavior.” Clinical psychology, which tries to solve the problems and symptoms individuals encounter because of their behavior, is in part a science; but in its study of the mind—especially the unconscious—it often moves away from pure science and becomes a philosophy and an art.
		The unconscious, after all, is, well, unconscious and therefore unknown to conscious reason, so it has to be encountered through language and dreams, not scientific research.
		Yet I have learned from experience that the practice of good clinical psychology involves something—call it comfort—which does not mean sympathy or soothing, and it certainly doesn’t mean to have your pain “taken away.” It really means to be urged on to take up the cup of your destiny with courage and honesty.

	Re: displacement/transference
		The idea is that by working through your feelings for the therapist, who is in psychoanalytic theory suppose to be neutral, you can better understand your relationship and unconscious material directed toward the original person.
		Displacement refers to a relplacement of the actual person, in a dream for example, whom you can direct emotions toward withought the associated anxiety.
		Transference and Displacement, as well as the defense mechanisms can be quite complex and can be interpretted slightly differently from dofferent people.
