Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albert Cohen adapted the psychological concept of reaction formation to mean the process in which a person openly rejects that which he wants or aspires to but cannot obtain or achieve. He used this concept to analyze the behavior of young working-class men in his study on delinquent subcultures. Interpersonal skills, intelligence, temperament, and association formation are not directly related to Cohen's theory of reaction formation.
