Question: 1 / 400

What does projection entail?

Presenting oneself truthfully

Attributing personal attributes to others

Projection in psychology refers to the tendency of individuals to attribute their own thoughts, feelings, and motives to others. This can sometimes be done intentionally, but it is often an unconscious defense mechanism. Option A, presenting oneself truthfully, is incorrect because projection can involve a lack of awareness of one's own flaws and attributing them to others. Option C, denying one's own flaws, is also incorrect because projection involves projecting one's own flaws onto others rather than denying them. Option D, focusing on others' mistakes, is incorrect because projection involves attributing one's own traits or behaviors to others, not just focusing on their mistakes.
