Figure 1 represents the two scanning styles as heuristic organizers of the four defensive styles. Consistent with Table 1, the obsessive style reflects serial scanning with a sharply focussed attentional beam, the paranoid style combines
parallel-processing in the periphery and a sharply focussed attentional beam, the hysterical style combines peripheral parallel processing and a broad unfocussed attentional beam, and the impulsive style reflects serial scanning with a broad unfocussed attentional beam.
