Question

Enumerate the structure of personality with respect of Freud's Theory of Personality. 

Answer 1

Psychoanalytic theory, often known as Sigmund Freud's Theory of Personality, claimed that personality is composed of three parts.

1. Id: The id is the most primal and natural aspect of the personality. It follows the pleasure principle, which calls for the instant satisfaction of fundamental needs and wants regardless of social norms or consequences. Unconscious wants and impulses like hunger, thirst, and sexual desires are what drive the id. It exists from birth and functions regardless of morality or reality. 
2. Ego: The practical and logical part of the personality is called the ego. It develops in early childhood to mediate between the superego's norms, the id's demands, and reality's limitations. The ego follows the reality principle and tries to "minimize negative consequences" by gratifying the id's cravings in ways that are acceptable in society. It uses defensive strategies, like rejection and rationalization, to deal with disagreements and lessen worry.
3. Superego: The superego stands for both the individual's conscience and the absorbed moral principles and ideals of society. It develops in childhood as a result of absorbing the moral lessons taught by parents and other social authorities. When one's activities fall short of these norms, the superego, which aspires to perfection and defends moral values, frequently causes feelings of guilt or shame. It guides moral decision-making and acts as a check on the id's desires.
