Projection
Sigmund Freud proposed many ideas as part of his psychoanalytic theory. Many of those ideas involve psychological defense mechanisms that humans use. One of those was called Projection. His logic is that the human ego has to protect itself. It cannot accept that it is defective. If it does that causes anxiety. Projection is a subconscious mechanism to protect the ego from anxiety. What Freud described was the individual recognizing that these traits are bad. The way to deal with that is to look for them in others. The concept is “I cannot be bad if I find someone who is worse.” In order for someone to use projection, they must first understand the difference between right and wrong.
