PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The id operates on the pleasure principle (Freud, 1920) which is the idea that every wishful impulse should be satisfied immediately, regardless of the consequences. When the id achieves its demands, we experience pleasure when it is denied we experience ‘unpleasure’ or tension.

Detailed explanation-2: -In psychoanalytic theory, the id is the part of the unconscious dedicated to pleasure and base drives. The pleasure principle is driven by the id. According to Freud, the id rules the personality in infancy and early childhood, and the ego and superego develop later.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is in the unconscious mind that the id resides. The id is the only part of the personality that is present at birth, according to Freud. He also suggested that this primitive component of personality existed wholly within the unconscious. The id acts as the driving force of personality.
