Denial occurs when someone fends off awareness of an unpleasant truth or of a reality that is a threat to the ego.
For example, a student may have received a bad grade on a report card but tells himself that grades don't matter.

Reaction formation takes place when a person takes the opposite approach consciously compared to what that person wants unconsciously.

For example, someone may engage in violence against another race because, that person claims, the members of the race are inferior, when unconsciously it is that very person who feels inferior.

Displacement takes place when someone redirects emotion from a "dangerous" object to a "safe" one, such as punching a pillow when one is angry at a friend.

Repression occurs when an experience is so painful (such as war trauma) that it is unconsciously forced from consciousness, while suppression is a conscious effort to do the same.

Psychological projection occurs when a person "projects" his or her own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings — basically parts of oneself — onto someone or something else. Since the person is experiencing particular desires, feelings, thoughts, or anxieties, s/he is more prone to attribute those same characteristics to the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of others.

Intellectualization involves removing one's self, emotionally, from a stressful event, by focusing on rational and factual components of the situation.

Rationalization involves constructing a logical justification for a decision that was originally arrived at through a different mental process.

For example, Jim may drink red wine because he is an alcoholic, but he tells himself he drinks it because it has some health benefits, in order to avoid facing his alcoholism.

i'll leave that for you to find out when it changes.

but i'll give you a hint - it's NOT strawberry shortcake.

Compensation occurs when someone takes up one behaviour because one cannot accomplish another behaviour.

For example, the second born child may clown around to get attention since the older child is already an accomplished scholar.
