Key Concepts

Freudian Psychoanalytic Theory

This is a psychological framework proposed by Sigmund Freud which divides the human mind into three distinct components: the id, ego, and superego. The theory explains human behavior by considering the internal conflicts and balancing mechanisms among these parts.

Id (Freudian Concept)

The id is the primitive part of the mind that operates on the pleasure principle. It is responsible for immediate gratification of basic desires and impulses, acting without consideration for the constraints of social norms or reality.

00:01 Today we're looking at the question.

00:03 One of your classmates says that mary, or remarks that mary is all it.

00:10 Okay, so let's start by writing the key phrase out.

00:13 So mary is all id.

00:20 Okay.

00:21 What does she likely mean? okay.

00:24 So i'm just going to put a question mark right there.

00:26 So to start this question off, it'd be helpful to know what id refers to.

00:31 So id refers to being one of the three parts of the psyche as described by sigmund freud.

00:38 So here's the psyche and then it's split into three parts.

00:44 Right here, the sizes aren't significance of anything.

00:47 It's just where i'm putting them.

00:49 Right here we have id, then we have ego and the super ego.

00:57 Okay, so super ego is going to be basically our morality.

01:03 It's going to be our conscience.

01:04 It's our sense of right and wrong and sticking to that.

01:09 Ego is going to be the little voice that compromises between the wants of the id and the wants of the super ego.

01:16 And lastly, id, which is the one we want to focus on, is going to be the more impulsive one.

01:21 It's going to be our base emotional desires.

01:24 It's going to, yeah, it's going to handle all of our impulses, stuff like that.

01:29 So now that we know that, let's go into.

01:33 To the answer options they give us.

01:39 So, a, mary uses a lot of defense mechanisms.

01:48 This wouldn't really apply, because once again, it's not super referring to the impulsiveness or emotional nature of someone like mary who's been described as all -id, so it's not gonna be a.

02:03 Okay, then we have b, she's ethical.

02:11 Once again, think on the keyword of id is impulse.

02:16 It's emotion, it's impulse, and that doesn't really have anything to do with ethical.

02:20 Rather, ethical would more apply to super ego, where it's looking at your ethics, your morals.

02:27 Sorry about my pen, it's acting up for whatever reason...
