Frustration, Conflict, Coping Mechanisms, and Defense Mechanisms

Frustration is when an individual's motivated behavior is blocked, which can lead to anxiety, irritability, fatigue, or depression.
Conflict refers to a serious disagreement or argument resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or demands.
There are three basic forms of conflict: approach-avoidance, approach-approach, and avoidance-avoidance.
Coping mechanisms are ways people react to frustration, which can be influenced by individual differences and developmental tasks.
Frustration tolerance is the ability to withstand frustration without developing inadequate modes of response.
Broad reactions to frustration can be fight (constructive and direct), flight (sulking, retreating, becoming indifferent, or giving up), or freeze (inability to act).
Different types of reactions to frustration include direct approach (objective problem-solving), detour (changing direction), substitution (finding alternative means), withdrawal or retreat (running away), or developing feelings of inferiority.
Aggression is a negative outcome of a person's inability to handle frustration rightly.
Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological processes that provide relief from emotional conflict and anxiety.
Common defense mechanisms include displacement, rationalization, compensation, projection, reaction formation, denial, repression, suppression, substitution, fantasy, and regression.
Displacement is when strong emotions are displaced onto another person or object as the recipient of the emotion.
Sublimation is the process of channeling instinctual drives into personally and socially accepted channels.
