//** Identification is a defense mechanism where a person acts like the person causing him harm or stress. In other words, the oppressed becomes the oppressor.

Examples of this include : **// //** Although it may sound similar to the process of projection, projection is when you affect someone else and put your feelings on another. Identification is strictly when you affect yourself and take someone else's feelings and put them on you. It's a way to cope with stress because you live idealistically like you would want too. Identification also takes away the stress of your real everyday life and lets you be this whole other person with a different lifestyle. **//
