Answer the following 5 questions in full sentences. Each
question is worth 3 marks (1 for identifying the correct
defence mechanism and 2 for explaining why). Be
sure to include distinct points in your answer; record your answers
in the boxes below.
1. John is a 53-year old male. John works a stressful 9-5 office
job and gets home around 6pm. After a dinner of mashed carrots and
peas, he lays down in his crib for four hours, babbling, and
sucking on a pacifier. He finds it relieves him of all stress after
a long day.
2. In a 1972 interview, David Bowie came out as bisexual, making
headlines across the music industry and world. In a 1983 interview
later on, Bowie claimed that his previous statement was “the
biggest mistake I ever made” and that he only said it because of
the time period he was in. He maintained that he was actually only
heterosexual. Which defence mechanism applies to his 1972
interview?
3. Tina was involved in a major car crash as a baby. She did not
remember it growing up. One day, in her early twenties, she was
driving through the very same intersection she was in the accident
for. She had a distinct feeling of “déjà vu”, or feeling like she
was there before, and some memories started to come back of the day
of the accident
4. Joan generally likes to go for jogs every day. She finds it
is therapeutic to be all by herself. She also noticed that during
more stressful times during the school year, like at the end of
January or June during exams, she would run for longer each day
than at other times in the year.
5. Whenever Xavier received a test result back, he would never
look at his mark right away out of fear that it is a bad mark. He
would wait until later on when he was “emotionally prepared” before
looking at the test paper and on TeachAssist. Xavier does not even
have G connected to his phone because he always assumes an email
meant bad news from a teacher.
