  Coincidence scattering of polarized electrons from nuclei with polarization
transfer to outgoing nucleons is studied within the context of relativistic
mean field theory. Effects introduced by the dynamical enhancement of the lower
components of the bound nucleon wave function are analyzed for the polarized
response functions and transferred polarization asymmetries assuming the
relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation (RPWIA). Results obtained by
projecting out the negative-energy components are compared with the
fully-relativistic calculation for proton knockout from $p_{1/2}$ and $p_{3/2}$
shells in $^{16}O$ for a variety of kinematic situations. The crucial role
played by the relativistic dynamics in some spin-dependent observables is
clearly manifested even for low/medium values of the missing momentum. The
degree to which knowledge about nucleon form factors can be extracted from
analyses of this type of process is also discussed.
