Detailed explanation-1: -The primary action of the superego is to suppress entirely any urges or desires of the id that are considered wrong or socially unacceptable. It also tries to force the ego to act morally rather than realistically. Finally, the superego strives for moral perfections, without taking reality into account.
Detailed explanation-2: -The superego is the ethical component of the personality and provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego’s criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person’s conscience, and its positive aspirations and ideals represent one’s idealized self-image, or “ego ideal.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The superego is seen as the purveyor or rewards (feelings of pride and satisfaction) and punishments (feelings of shame and guilt) depending on which part (the ego-deal or conscious) is activated.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parts of the unconscious mind (the id and superego) are in constant conflict with the conscious part of the mind (the ego). This conflict creates anxiety, which could be dealt with by the ego’s use of defense mechanisms.
Detailed explanation-5: -The superego is composed of two parts: the conscience and the ego ideal. In a general sense, the conscience is a punitive, negative agent, and the ego ideal functions as an agent of reward. The conscience is made up of prohibitions, and includes information about things that are viewed as bad by parents and society.
