PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The superego is the part of the mind that handles higher moral concepts, such as the concepts of right or wrong. The reality principle is based upon the tension between the id and the ego. The reality principle is a development of the ego.

Detailed explanation-2: -"The superego is like a relentless conscience that distinguishes right from wrong in no uncertain terms. Its prime objective is to keep the id in check. In this regard, it is the function of the ego to mediate between the prime desires of the id and the superego’s unbending effort to inhibit those desires."

Detailed explanation-3: -The reality principle forces the mind to consider the risks, requirements and outcomes of various decisions. The ego does not strive to eradicate urges, but instead it temporarily halts the discharge of the id’s energy until a more suitable, safe and realistic time and place can be found.
