Components of the human personality develop through Freud's developmental stages. Freud be-lieved that the functions of these components regulate behavior. These components are the id, the ego, and the superego. The superego performs regulating, restraining, and prohibiting actions. Often referred to as the conscience, the superego is influenced by the standards of outside social forces (i.e., the law). The ego represents the reality component mediating conflicts between the environment and the forces of the id. The ego helps us judge reality accurately, regulate impulses, and make good decisions.
