In psychology, introjection (also known as identification or internalization)[1] is the unconscious adoption of the thoughts or personality traits of others.[2] It occurs as a normal part of development, such as a child taking on parental values and attitudes. It can also be a defense mechanism in situations that arouse anxiety.[2] It has been associated with both normal and pathological development.[1]
