PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

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: -According to Sigmund Freud, personality consists of the id, ego, and superego. These three parts work together to create a complete personality. The superego is the social component and is your conscience. The id is your instinct, while the ego is your conscious decisions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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).

Detailed explanation-5: -According to Sigmund Freud’s tripartite theory of personality, the superego is the part of personality concerned with keeping to moral norms. It develops around 4-5 years old and acts according to the ‘morality principle’, attempting to control a powerful id with feelings of guilt.
