Answer:

displacement

Explanation:

The defense mechanism of displacement is a form of psychological defense mechanism whereby an individual transfers his aggression or negative feelings of emotion from the original source of the negative emotion to a less threatening person or object that was not the source of the negative emotion but is likely to not bring negative consequences or repercussions. OK this way the individual is able to act out his emotional response freely with this person or object as demonstrated above
