Detailed explanation-1: -Id, Ego, and Superego. Freud proposed that the mind is divided into three components: id, ego, and superego, and that the interactions and conflicts among the components create personality (Freud, 1923/1949).

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Sigmund Freud, the Superego. a. is the source of psychic motivation, such as sex and aggression.

Detailed explanation-3: -Regression: Adapting one’s behavior to earlier levels of psychosocial development. For example, a stressful event may cause an individual to regress to bed-wetting after they have already outgrown this behavior. Repression: Subconsciously blocking ideas or impulses that are undesirable.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the superego is the component of personality composed of the internalized ideals that we have acquired from our parents and society. The superego works to suppress the urges of the id and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.
