Freud believed that the superego, which represents society's norms and values, can influence a person's behavior and motivate them to act in a way that aligns with their moral conscience. In this case, Carolyn's guilt for stealing the paper may have been driven by her superego, which then motivated her to replace the paper to rectify her wrongdoing.
