We both know there is a lot of ambiguity with these type qs.
MY first thought was displacement
I looked this up I think displacement occurs in a narrower time frame
eg-a man angry at his boss shouts at his wife[trans fer of emotions from a personally unacceptable situation to one that is personally tolerable

*Identification is unconsciously patterning ones behavior after someone who is more powerful. eg.A man who is physically abused as a child abuses
his own kids or it could even be his wife.

Again I think its the nost ambiguous area and these are the kind of qs that must be done to fully understand this area.
