Answer:

reaction formation

Explanation:

Reaction formation is a defense mechanism that allows a person to have a desire, which occurs unconsciously and impulsively, but rejects that desire immediately, consciously. An example of this is seen in the question above when Jasmin feels the urge to set things on fire, but rejects that urge because she knows he is both erect and incorrect. In addition to rejecting this desire, she feels bad for feeling that desire and scolds herself to keep from wanting to set things on fire again. This type of feeling is common when the reaction formation mechanism is activated.
