===Rationalization===
====Explanation====
Rationalization helps a person justify specific behaviors or decisions that may not be acceptable to the [[conscious ]] [[mind]].
====Examples====
A [[woman ]] interviews for a job that she really wants, but after the interview is over and she is not offered the [[position]], she claims that she really did not [[want ]] the job anyway. Rather than admitting to herself that she may not have conducted the interview in an appropriate manner or did not have the necessary skills or [[experience ]] the employer was seeking, she portrays the [[situation ]] as one where she is the decision-maker. This [[distortion ]] of the situation helps her minimize potential [[feelings ]] of failure, inadequacy, or [[inferiority]].
==Or==
the creation of a [[logical ]] explanation for an illogical/unacceptable [[feeling ]] or [[behavior]], thereby repressing/dismissing the initial feeling or behavior.
