Question

Write following Ego Defense Mechanisms with 1 example for each. Displacement and Denial​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Many people use denial in their everyday lives to avoid dealing with painful feelings or areas of their life they don't wish to admit. For example, a husband may refuse to recognise obvious signs of his wife's infidelity. A student may refuse to recognise their obvious lack of preparedness for an exam!

Answer 2

Displacement is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person redirects a negative emotion from its original source to a less threatening recipient. A classic example of the defense is displaced aggression.
