Question

A teenage boy with strong competitive and aggressive feelings becomes a football player

• A. Projection
• B. Sublimation
• C. Displacement
• D. Rationalisation

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Sublimation

• Sublimation occurs when an individual channels unacceptable impulses, such as strong competitive or aggressive feelings, into socially acceptable and constructive activities. In this case, the teenage boy redirects his aggression into football, a competitive sport that provides a positive outlet, allowing him to express these drives productively rather than destructively.
