Ego defense mechanisms
Ego
defense mechanisms that individuals use a strategy to prevent the emergence of
open id impulses or to face the pressure of the super ego, in order to reduce
the anxiety that occurs. Anxiety actually has significance, which serves to
help individuals to know the dangers that are threatening. But when anxiety has
a high level of tension that it will disrupt the individual. And ego defense
mechanisms will help to reduce excessive anxiety. Through some kind of ego
defense mechanisms according to Sigmund Freud, among others:
1. Repression.
Mechanism by
ego to assuage anxiety by pressing impulses or desires that cause anxiety into
unconscious. Effect caused by the repression according to Freud, among others:
psychosomatic, neurotic behavior, sexual deviance.
2. Sublimation.
Ego defense
mechanism intended to prevent and relieve anxiety by altering and adjusting id
primitive impulse that causes anxiety in the form of (behavior) that can be
accepted by society, and even appreciated by the public.
3. Projections.
Transfer of
encouragement, attitude, or behavior that cause anxiety to others. An example
is a lazy student who does not pass the exam and then told his parents, that he
did not pass the exam not being lazy, but because his teacher sentiment to him.
4 .
Displacement .
Disclosure
impulse causing concern to the objects or individuals that are less harmful or
less threatening than the individual or the original object . An example is a
student punished by her teacher , and her desire to wreak revenge by hitting
her in the school or facility damage .
5 .
Rationalization .
Individuals
attempt to distort the fact that the ego threatened by certain reasons .
Example of this is a guy who wants to approach the girl of her dreams , but
because of fear of rejection then if he asked why not approach him , he would
have replied that the girl was not interested him .
6 . Reaction
formation .
Sometimes the
individual ego can control primitive impulses that do not appear to consciously
express conscious behavior .
7 . Regression
.
Individual
effort to avoid reality -threatening , returned to a lower level of development
. Example of this is a girl who left her boyfriend , then behave like a child .
So
there must be a balance between the id and the super ego, so that excessive
anxiety is not perceived by the individual. Some of the mechanisms above are
theories of Sigmund Freud to address excessive anxiety that is felt by the
individual. (12410132) Muhlisin. Teori-teori Kepribadian by Koeswara.
