CONCEPT NOTES
ID, EGO, SUPEREGO
Freud’s psychoanalytic personality theory provides three levels of awareness: conscious, preconscious, and
unconscious. The conscious level of the mind is the accessible information, memories, and thoughts that an individual has.
The preconscious is the level where accessible and retrievable information are situated, but are not currently in the
conscious level. The unconscious is the inaccessible memories, thoughts, emotions, and feelings that are most populated
by childhood events.
The popular saying “You only see the tip of the iceberg” is suitable analogy for the three levels of the mind. The tip
is the conscious level, the part right below the sea line is the preconscious, and the major portion beneath the sea is the
unconscious.

Iceberg Analysis
The id, ego, and superego are the parts that are constitutive of personality that occupy these three levels of the
mind.
The first part to develop is the id, which occupies the unconscious level. Because the id is the biological aspect
(instincts and basic urges) of personality, it only seeks pleasure and demands instant gratification. It does not take reality
into account as it only demands what it wants without reason or logic.
Second develop is the ego, which resides in the conscious and preconscious levels of the mind. Because the ego is
considered as the center of logic and reason, it is also described as the decision-maker.
The superego is the third to develop and it resides in all levels of the mind. As the moral and social aspects of
personality, it is considered as a person’s conscience. The superego demands strict adherence to the laws of society and
conformity to social norms. It makes a person feel guilty. Like the id, it does not take reality into account as it merely asserts
and demands moral perfection.
Psychoanalysis is both a theory and clinical approach in aiding individuals who are suffering from repressed
emotions and consciousness. Prepared by: JEAN FAITH M. NOVAL

ACTIVITY 1:
Directions: For each of the following scenarios, predict how the id, ego and superego might respond. Write your
answer on the table.

Scenario#1:
Tomorrow, you have your final exam in AP Psychology. You have been studying hard for the past week, but are nervous
because you typically don’t do well on tests. As a result, you go to a review session after school. You’re the last one to
leave the room, and just as you’re about to close the door you notice that there is a piece of paper on the ground. You pick
it up and look at it to discover that it’s actually tomorrow’s exam with the answers filled in.

RESPONSE

ID

EGO

SUPEREGO

Scenario #3:
You’ve been dating the love of your life, Chris, for the past four years. You are best friends and tell each other everything.
You actually believe you are soul mates. One day, however, a new transfer student shows up at school–his name is Jessie.
Jessie immediately catches your eye, as well as the eye of every other girl in school. Jessie is the epitome of physical
attractiveness and might be the best looking individual you have ever seen. Your teacher pairs you up with Jessie so that
you can be his guide around school. At the end of the day, after getting to know you, Jessie grabs your hand and starts to
kiss you.
RESPONSE

ID

EGO

SUPEREGO

Scenario#4:
Your father has a gambling problem & is in heavy debt to the local mafia. Despite his unfortunate addiction, your dad is a
wonderful man who has always taken care of you and your family. Your family has gone through many tough times and he
has always helped to pull you through. You have also worked very hard for yourself and have saved enough money to put
yourself through your first year of college. No bank will give you a loan because of your dad’s poor credit history, so you are
depending on the money to pay your tuition. One day, you get a knock on the door. You answer it to see a man standing in
a long black trench coat. He says that your dad will be beaten on his way home from work tonight unless you can pay off his
gambling debt. All together, the debt is about equal to your entire savings.
