Evidence from previous studies is interpreted in terms of introjection as the learning of self‐reactions from the reaction of others. This is a form of learning which differs from others in that it is more permanent, generalizes to all situations, and exists in conflict with the rest of the personality. A number of investigations are reported showing that introjection takes place for some children, but not others, particularly from the same‐sexed parent, and when there is a warm and dependent relationship. Several attempts to explain introjection in simpler terms are considered; it is concluded that the most plausible accounts are that parents persuade and teach children to react to their own behaviour in certain ways, and that two‐person interaction may lead to fantasied anticipation of the other's reactions
