Which of the following best describes the psychological concept wherein an individual deals with emotional conflict or stressors by attributing their own unacceptable feelings, thoughts, or motives to another person?
Projection is a defense mechanism where individuals deflect unwanted emotions or traits they don't like about themselves onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings. Denial involves ignoring the existence of a distressing reality, suppression is a conscious form of exclusion of uncomfortable thoughts, and regression is the reversion to an earlier stage of development in the face of unacceptable thoughts or impulses.
