AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.6
According to Freud, why is there often conflict between the id and superego?
Both want control over consciousness but have different methods to achieve it.
The id seeks immediate gratification while the superego considers morals and societal norms.
The superego develops earlier than the id leading to tension between them.
The id governs memory recall while the superego inhibits them.
