Only one of sixteen ego-defenses Allport described was self-hatred

Evidence

But whereas most theorists assumed that negative effects were universal, Allport instead argued for the basic human motivation to cope with, adapt to, and survive oppressive circumstances. Therefore his ideas about the effects of prejudice on its targets were a broad mixture of ego-defenses, strategic manipulations, and collective actions that preserved psychological and physical well-being. … Allport, in contrast, considered a variety of possible responses under the more general proposition that “ego-defenses” must be developed to cope with the daily assaults on well-being, dignity, and human value. He discussed some 16 different defense mechanisms that covered the gamut of possibilities from passive withdrawal to aggressive, action–oriented redress. Only one of these was labeled “self-hatred.” — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1040
