CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.”

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Examples of the Superego A woman feels an urge to steal office supplies from work. However, her superego counteracts this urge by focusing on the fact that such behaviors are wrong. A man realizes that the cashier at the store forgot to charge him for one of the items he had in his cart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Freud divided the superego into two parts: the ego ideal and the conscience. The ego ideal is the idealistic view of what is right, while the conscience is that sense of guilt, or the view of what is considered wrong.
