The id is the part of the personality that is responsible for our primitive desires and impulses, such as the desire to have the toy in this situation. It is not concerned with the consequences of actions or the feelings of others. Therefore, Suzie's actions of pushing her brother and taking the toy without regard for his feelings suggest that her id is in control in this situation. The conscious, superego, and ego are more concerned with social norms and moral values, which do not seem to be guiding Suzie's behavior in this scenario.
