Every individual have different types of needs and goals which he always
attempts to achieve but due to some external and internal factors it is not
possible for him or her to achieve these goals.
Most of the time in these cases people start suffering from frustration
as they are not able to complete their goals or achieve it. Because of which
some individual may react physically as for them it is the way of reducing their
frustration like destroying objects, shouting, fighting out of frustration to adjust
him to PROTECT HIS OR HER EGO.
Therefore we can say that the adjustment mechanism is the device to achieve indirect satisfaction in order
to reduce his or her tension as suggested by Dr.R.K. Suri(Founder
Psychowellness Center, Mentor Talk To Angel)
For example- If a boy wanted to become a doctor but was unable to clear
the entrance exam then he can become frustrated and may behave in a different
way to get over his frustration.

GENERALLY, NORMAL PEOPLE ADOPT A HEALTHY MECHANISM TO PROTECT HIS or HER
EGO WHICH IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE.
DEFENSE MECHANISM – it is a type of adjustment the mechanism through which individual start coping with his stress and protect his
ego.
Following are the types of a defense mechanism which was
given by Sigmund Freud –
1)DISPLACEMENT MECHANISM – Displacement
management is the kind of management where the person shows the frustration on
some other thing to satisfy the ego. For example, if a teacher had a fight at
her home, she then came to school and while teaching in the class she shouted
on a boy without any reason.
2) FIXATION MECHANISM - Fixation management is a type of defense a mechanism where the person attaches oneself
in an unreasonable way to some person or arresting emotional development
at a childhood level.
Like many people start behaving like a kid or starts speaking like a
kid when he or she is sad or feels frustrated.
3) PROJECTION MECHANISM- It is attributing one’s unacceptable motives
or characteristics to others.
In this method, an individual tries to repress his guilt feelings by projecting
them into other things and people.
POINT TO BE NOTED- Extreme use of projection is frequently observed in
neurotic &psychotic cases.

4) RATIONALISATION- It can be described as using the explanation behind unworthy motives of one’s behavior.
It’s like giving a reason for their not so good thoughts.
5) REACTION FORMATION - In this, the
person does not present their real feelings or thoughts or we can say that they
react just opposite to what they exactly feel.
For example, when someone likes another person many times he tries to hide
his actual feelings and starts to react just opposite of what he actually feels.
