Question: 1 / 400

What is the term for acting in a way opposite to what one truly feels?

Displacement

Projection

Rationalization

Reaction formation

Reaction formation refers to acting in a way that is opposite to one's true feelings. Other options are incorrect because displacement refers to redirecting one's emotions to a less threatening target, projection is attributing one's own thoughts or feelings to someone else, and rationalization is creating a logical explanation for one's behavior to justify it. Therefore, these options do not accurately describe the term for acting in a way opposite to what one truly feels.
