Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Repression is an unconscious mechanism by which threatening thoughts and feelings are kept from becoming conscious.
Rationale 2: Sublimation is displacement of sexual drives into more socially acceptable activities.
Rationale 3: Substitution is a mechanism in which highly valued, unacceptable, or unavailable objects are replaced by less valuable, acceptable, or available objects.
Rationale 4: Undoing is an action or words designed to cancel out some disapproved thoughts, impulses, or acts or in which the person acts to make reparation for a wrong.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Reaction formation is a mechanism that causes people to act exactly opposite to the way they feel.
Rationale 2: Rationalization is justification of behaviors by faulty logic and by ascribing socially acceptable motives to the behavior.
Rationale 3: Regression is resorting to an earlier, more comfortable level of functioning that is less demanding.
Rationale 4: Reparation is not a recognized defense mechanism.
