Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Displacement is the redirection of aggression or other negative emotions to a target other than the source of the frustration. This can occur when the original target is unavailable, too powerful to confront, or when expressing anger or hostility toward that target would lead to negative consequences. Substitution, instrumental aggression, and projection are not accurate descriptions of this psychological process.
