Which component of Freud's theory of personality is present at birth?
A
Id.
B
Ego.
C
Superego.
D
Self.
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding Freud's theory of personality, which consists of three main components: the Id, Ego, and Superego.
Recognize that the Id is the most primitive part of the personality, operating on the pleasure principle and seeking immediate gratification.
Note that the Id is present from birth, as it encompasses innate biological instincts and drives.
Understand that the Ego and Superego develop later in life, with the Ego emerging to mediate between the Id and reality, and the Superego representing internalized societal norms and morals.
Conclude that the component of Freud's theory of personality present at birth is the Id, as it is the only part that is fully formed at that time.
