PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the superego is the component of personality composed of the internalized ideals that we have acquired from our parents and society. The superego works to suppress the urges of the id and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ego represents just one component of your full personality. The ego operates based on the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id’s desires in realistic and socially appropriate ways. The reality principle weighs the costs and benefits of an action before deciding to act upon or abandon impulses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from one’s parents and others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Morality comes from the superego in Freud’s structural theory of the psyche, his last description of mindscape. The structural model elaborates three distinct yet interdependent regions: the id (animal nature), ego (defense mechanisms and reasoning capacities), and superego (feelings of guilt and conscience).
