Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The superego is a part of the unconscious that is the voice of conscience (doing what is right) and the source of self-criticism.
Detailed explanation-3: -The superego is present in the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.
Detailed explanation-4: -The id, ego and superego work together to create human behavior. The id creates the demands, the ego adds the needs of reality, and the superego adds morality to the action which is taken.
