According to Freud's theory, a baby who is crying in response to wanting to be held by his mother is an example of which part of the personality's control over behavior?
a. Id
b. Ego
c. Superego
d. Self-control
A
According to Freud, the id is the pleasure center of the brain that seeks immediate pleasure or avoids pain, without regard for possible outcomes. The ego is reality based and has more control than the id; the superego is not developed in early childhood because it includes a conscience. Self-control is not a component of Freud's theory of personality.
