Most people use defense mechanisms to create barriers between themselves and others when they're faced with adversity. These survivors are no different. There are many instances of this, but I'll just name a few:
-Shambo, the hearty, friendly person, uses regression as a tactic to deal with her team members practicing yoga while they should be working. She basically condemns their behavior, closing her mind to the possibility that their yoga session could really have helped with their stress of being on Samoa, away from their lives. This pushed Shambo away from her tribe socially, hindering her friendships with them.
-Ben, always the antagonist, uses displacement to vent his anger and frustration on his tribe's guest, Yasmine, in the second episode. Foa Foa lost the immunity challenge for the second time, causing much stress among the tribe. Ben basically lashes out at Yasmine when she unknowlingly insults Foa Foa, calling her "ghetto trash" and ignorant. Ben's unappropriate antics backfired on him, putting his head on the chopping block with a swift execution. Ben was voted out of Foa Foa at the end of the third episode.

Yes! Ben was sooo using displacement on his tribe. It just made the whole tribe in a bad mood. Its not right for him to spead his bad mood to the others.
