Which of the following defense mechanisms is Marissa using when she
compensation
denial
reaction formation
projection
compensation
denial
reaction formation
projection
To accurately identify which defense mechanism Marissa is using, I would need more context about her behavior or situation. Each of the mentioned defense mechanisms has distinct characteristics:
- Compensation: Making up for a weakness by emphasizing a strength in another area.
- Denial: Refusing to accept reality or fact.
- Reaction Formation: Acting in a way that is opposite to one's true feelings.
- Projection: Attributing one’s own unacceptable thoughts or feelings to another person.
If you can provide more details about Marissa's situation or behavior, I can help determine which defense mechanism she is using.
