Answer:

Scapegoat theory

Explanation:

Scapegoat theory is blaming someone else for one's own problems this normally gives birth to the feelings of prejudice toward the person or group that one is blaming. Scapegoating serves as an strategy to explain failure, lack of taking responsibility,or misdeeds, while maintaining one’s positive self-image. If a person doesn't get good grades in school he or she could blame it on the fact that he or she is victimised by the teacher. the person may be using the teacher as a scapegoat and may end up hating the teacher and causing people to look at the teacher in a certain way Essentially, scapegoating generally employs a stand-in for one’s own failures so that one doesn’t have to face one’s own weaknesses.
