Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intellectualization is a defense mechanism where an individual uses reasoning and logic to avoid experiencing uncomfortable emotions or to avoid confronting emotional conflicts and stressful situations. This process involves focusing on the intellectual aspects, such as facts, details, and explanations, to detach oneself from the emotional impact of the situation.
