AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Suppression is the voluntary form of repression proposed by Sigmund Freud in 1892. It is the conscious process of pushing unwanted, anxiety-provoking thoughts, memories, emotions, fantasies and desires out of awareness.

Detailed explanation-2: -The unconscious consists of those things that are outside of conscious awareness, including many memories, thoughts, and urges of which we are not aware.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our unconscious mind may not only nudge us to choose a particular option, but it may help muster the necessary motivation to actually achieve it. Psychologists have long known that people given power in a social science experiment often exhibit selfish and corrupt behavior, putting personal interests first.

Detailed explanation-4: -Finally, the unconscious mind comprises mental processes that are inaccessible to consciousness but that influence judgments, feelings, or behavior (Wilson, 2002). According to Freud (1915), the unconscious mind is the primary source of human behavior.
