A psychodynamic theorist would predict that when faced with a conflict between accuracy and self-enhancement, people are likely to:
Compromise
Psychodynamic theory views the self as governed by competing motives whose tension is managed by ego defence mechanisms such as rationalisation, repression and denial rather than by outright abandonment of either motive.
When the drive for accurate self-knowledge collides with the drive to protect and enhance self-esteem, the ego negotiates a compromise: distressing feedback is partially accepted but softened or reframed so that a positive self-image is preserved without a full break from reality.
Hence, the correct answer is compromise.
