Question

3) To what extent do you believe that defense mechanisms are prevalent within human personality/behavior and which do you most utilize?

Answer 1

Defense mechanisms are very commonly used and are lot prevelance with all human, all kinds of different personalities.

All of us use defense mechanisms almost daily in out routine behavior ,many of us use it suncinsubconsc but there are few defences that we even use consiously. Using defence mechanisms help individual to stay away from pathological states of mental illness.

I personally utilize a lot of defence mechanisms,most commonly used are humor and altruism. Sometimes I do tend to utilize displacement but very rarely and even if I do utilize I realise I was wrong and then I avoid doing the same. But humor in my opinion is one of the best mechanisms which help to mental positive psychology with increasing positive emotions of happiness and satisfaction.
