Note: Independent variables entered in the multivariate linear regression model were: ODF, Factor 1, Factor 2, Factor 3, and MAAS. ^a ODF is the acronym of overall defensive functioning; Factor 1 includes mature defenses; Factor 2 includes mental inhibition and avoidance defenses; Factor 3 includes immature-depressive defenses.
