What is the term for when an emotion is shown as or converted into a physical symptom?

  1. Compensation

  2. Conversion

  3. Denial

  4. Reaction formation

The correct answer is: Conversion

Conversion is the term used to describe when an emotion is shown as or converted into a physical symptom. This psychological process is often associated with a person experiencing a physical ailment that has its roots in emotional distress or conflict. In this case, the physical symptom serves as a way for the individual to express or cope with their underlying emotional issues. The other options, such as Compensation, Denial, and Reaction formation, are not specifically related to the conversion of emotions into physical symptoms.
