CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Freud believed that the superego acts as the conscience that encourages the individual to meet society’s moral demands. The superego develops primarily from parental instructions and rules, and encourages the individual to rise above his or her base instincts and drives. It works in direct counterbalance to the id.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary action of the superego is to suppress entirely any urges or desires of the id that are considered wrong or socially unacceptable. It also tries to force the ego to act morally rather than realistically. Finally, the superego strives for moral perfections, without taking reality into account.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conscience is the psychological faculty by which an individual becomes aware of and responds to the moral result of one’s actions. On the other hand, superego is the third component of the human psyche or personality that contains the moral attributes or the conscience and the ideal self.
