Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes the defense mechanism of repression, in which Jeremy is not aware of his unconscious hostile urges towards his boss. Repression involves keeping unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses out of conscious awareness to avoid discomfort or anxiety. The other choices do not accurately fit the given scenario: A) a Freudian slip would involve accidentally revealing unconscious thoughts or desires, but Jeremy is not aware of his urges at all. B) mental control involves conscious efforts to suppress unwanted thoughts or feelings, which is not the case with Jeremy. C) subliminal perception refers to the processing of information outside of conscious awareness, but does not necessarily involve hidden, unacceptable urges like those described in the scenario.
