- freuds 3 parts to the personality
- freud suggested we have an ID, ego and superego which are at constant conflict with one another over decision
- some of us may have a strong ID or a strong super ego etc
- the ID
- is present from birth and has no rational thought
- seeks pleasure and avoids pain
- impulsive and selfish
- includes basic needs such as sex and hunger etc
- if too strong it can make someone lose control, aggressive/ destructive and lead to inhabited sexual behaviour
- the ego
- develops around the age 2-3 and realises instant pleasure is not always possible
- the mediator of the 3 parts
- also seeks pleasure but searches for a realistic strategy to do this
- if this is too weak it will allow the ID and superego to dominate
- superego
- this is the rationalised/conscious.
- develops around ages 3-5
- can make someone feel guilty
- tells you what is right or wrong based on morals , values and social norms rather than just realistic ones
- tries to control the IDs impulses especially the ones society forbids such as aggression
- freud suggested we have an ID, ego and superego which are at constant conflict with one another over decision
