AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The information in our unconscious affects our behavior, although we are unaware of it. According to Freud, our personality develops from a conflict between two forces: our biological aggressive and pleasure-seeking drives versus our internal (socialized) control over these drives.

Detailed explanation-2: -Freud’s Theory of the Psyche In Freudian theory, the human mind is structured into two main parts: the conscious and unconscious mind. The conscious mind includes all the things we are aware of or can easily bring into awareness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and introduced influential theories such as: his ideas of the conscious and unconscious; the id, ego, and superego; dream interpretation; and psychosexual development.

Detailed explanation-4: -Freud viewed the unconscious as a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, anxiety-producing wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of repression.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
