They actually used a defense mechanism.....
In psychoanalytic theory, defence mechanisms (German: Abwehrmechanismen) are psychological strategies brought into play by the unconscious
mind to manipulate, deny, or distort reality in order to defend against
feelings of anxiety and unacceptable impulses and to maintain one's
self-schema.
In
order to deal with conflict and problems in life, Freud stated that the
ego employs a range of defense mechanisms. Defense mechanisms operate
at an unconscious level and help ward off unpleasant feelings (i.e. anxiety) or make good things feel better for the individual.
