Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Displaced aggression occurs when an individual directs their aggressive feelings or actions towards a target that is not the original source of their frustration. This happens because the actual source of frustration might be inaccessible or retaliating against it might have negative consequences, leading the individual to vent their aggression on a safer or more convenient target.
