A way of avoiding an unacceptable impulse is to act in the opposite extreme. By acting in a way that is opposite to disturbing desires, individuals do not have to deal with the resulting anxiety.
Projection (Freud)
Attributing one’s own unacceptable feelings or thoughts to others is the basis of projection.
Displacement (Freud)
When anxious, individuals can express their feelings not to an object or person who may be dangerous but to those who may be safe. ('Kick the dog')
Sublimation (Freud)
Somewhat similar to displacement, sublimation is the modification of a drive (usually sexual or aggressive) into acceptable social behavior.
Rationalization (Freud)
To explain away a poor performance, a failure, or a loss, people may make excuses to lessen their anxiety and soften the disappointment.
Regression (Freud)

Identification (Freud)
By taking on the characteristics of others, people can reduce their anxiety as well as other negative feelings.
