AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ego deals with reality, trying to meet the desires of the id in a way that is socially acceptable in the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.

Detailed explanation-3: -The id, ego, and super-ego are a set of three concepts in psychoanalytic theory describing distinct, interacting agents in the psychic apparatus (defined in Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche).

Detailed explanation-4: -The three ego states are called-Parent, Adult and Child ego states. These three ego states comprise individual personality. Each ego state is an entire system of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours from which we interact with one another. Understanding our ego states helps us to understand Who am I?

Detailed explanation-5: -The id provides the drives for behavior, the superego strives for moral perfection, and the ego works to strike a balance between those two needs and the demands of reality. A healthy, well-functioning personality is all about striking a need between the id, ego, and superego.
