Psychological defense mechanism:
Regression. In classical theories, regression is considered a psychological defense mechanism through which an individual, in their behavioral reactions, seeks to avoid anxiety by reverting to earlier stages of libidinal development. In this form of defensive reaction, an individual subjected to frustrating factors replaces the solution of subjectively more complex tasks with relatively simpler and more accessible tasks in the given situation. The use of simpler and more familiar behavioral stereotypes significantly reduces the overall (potentially possible) range of ways to overcome conflicting situations. This mechanism also includes the defense described in literature as "realization in action," in which unconscious desires or conflicts are directly expressed in actions that prevent their awareness. Impulsivity and weakness of emotional-volitional control, characteristic of psychopathic personalities, are determined by the activation of this defense mechanism against the background of a general change in the motivational-need sphere towards greater simplicity and accessibility.
