Accepted Answer

The superego is the part of the psyche that represents internalized moral standards and ideals. It acts as a judge or conscience and can lead to feelings of guilt and self-condemnation when a person believes they have failed to live up to these standards. Therefore, Joe's constant condemnation of himself for being "sinful" suggests an overdeveloped superego.

Which statement about the id is most accurate?&#10;A)It is in close contact with bodily needs.&#10;B)It follows the reality principle.&#10;C)It houses the conscience.&#10;D)It drives us to live up to our ideals.

Question 6

An orally fixated person would most likely&#10;A)be an only child.&#10;B)dislike his or her father.&#10;C)be a sloppy dresser.&#10;D)eat and smoke a great deal.

Accepted Answer

An orally fixated person is someone who has a need for oral stimulation and often engages in habits such as smoking or excessive eating as a means of satisfying this need. Therefore, choice D, which describes eating and smoking a great deal, is the best answer. The other choices (being an only child, disliking one's father, and being a sloppy dresser) are not necessarily related to an oral fixation.

Question 7

Pleasure principle is to _______ as reality principle is to _______.&#10;A)id;superego&#10;B)superego;id&#10;C)id;ego&#10;D)ego;id

Accepted Answer

The pleasure principle refers to the instinctual drive to seek pleasure and avoid pain in order to satisfy basic biological and psychological needs. The id is the part of our personality that operates according to the pleasure principle. The reality principle, on the other hand, refers to the social and cultural constraints that we must navigate in order to meet our needs and desires. The ego is the part of our personality that operates according to the reality principle, balancing the conflicting demands of the id and the external world. Therefore, the pleasure principle is to id as reality principle is to ego.
