Key Concepts

Displaced Aggression

Displaced aggression is a specific type of defense mechanism in which an individual redirects their feelings of anger or frustration from the actual source to a safer or more acceptable substitute target. This redirection often occurs because the true source of the emotion is perceived as too threatening or risky to confront directly.

Defense Mechanisms

Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological strategies employed to manage or reduce stress, anxiety, and internal conflict. They help the individual protect themselves from feelings or thoughts that might be too difficult or uncomfortable to handle directly, often leading to behaviors that mask the true emotional experience.
