Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the three main components of Freud's model of personality: the id, the ego, and the superego.
Recall that the id represents instinctual desires and operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification.
Recognize that the superego embodies moral standards and ideals, often imposing guilt or pride based on behavior.
Identify that the ego functions as the mediator between the id's desires, the superego's moral constraints, and the demands of reality.
Conclude that the ego uses the reality principle to balance these forces, making it the component responsible for mediation.
