Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The id, ego and superego can be seen as part of which hierarchy of needs?
A
Erikson’s
B
Piaget’s
C
Maslow’s
D
Binet’s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maslow describes them as the most basic of needs and calls them ‘physiological drives’ that are driven by the personality’s id instead of the ego and superego that Sigmund Freud describes in his psychoanalytic theory.

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: -Answer and Explanation: Freud believed that a healthy person should have the ego as the strongest component of his or her mind. This is because the ego needs to moderate between the desires of the id and the superego, either of which can be destructive in the extreme.

Detailed explanation-4: -The superego is the ethical component of the personality and provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego’s criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person’s conscience, and its positive aspirations and ideals represent one’s idealized self-image, or “ego ideal.”
