 Lesson Overview

What is Personality

 Characteristics and patterns of behavior, thought and emotion that determine a

person’s adjustment to the environment
 An observation of the relative stability or consistency of behavioral tendencies across
time and across situation.
 It is also who you consistently are in your behavior when you were young and up to
now.
 It is what makes a person unique and distinctive from others
 The relatively stable and consistent behavioral tendencies across time and across
situations.
Psychoanalytic Approach Founded by Sigmund Freud
According to Freud psychoanalytic theory, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the
mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates
as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of
the id and the super-ego.

The id is the impulsive (and unconscious) part of our psyche which responds directly and
immediately to basic urges, needs, and desires. The personality of the newborn child is all id
and only later does it develop an ego and super-ego.

The id operates on the pleasure principle (Freud, 1920) which is the idea that every wishful
impulse should be satisfied immediately, regardless of the consequences. When the id
achieves its demands, we experience pleasure when it is denied we experience ‘unpleasure’
or tension. (when you need and want things, the part of your brain responsible for that is the
id)

The ego develops to mediate between the unrealistic id and the external real world. It is the
decision-making component of personality. Ideally, the ego works by reason, whereas the id
is chaotic and unreasonable.
The ego operates according to the reality principle, working out realistic ways of satisfying
the id’s demands, often compromising or postponing satisfaction to avoid negative
consequences of society. The ego considers social realities and norms, etiquette and rules in
deciding how to behave.

The superego's function is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids,
such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic
goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for perfection.

2
The superego consists of two systems: The conscience and the ideal self. The conscience can
punish the ego through causing feelings of guilt. For example, if the ego gives in to the id's
demands, the superego may make the person feel bad through guilt.

The ideal self (or ego-ideal) is an imaginary picture of how you ought to be, and represents
career aspirations, how to treat other people, and how to behave as a member of society.

Behavior which falls short of the ideal self may be punished by the superego through guilt.
The super-ego can also reward us through the ideal self when we behave ‘properly’ by
making us feel proud.
If a person’s ideal self is too high a standard, then whatever the person does will represent
failure. The ideal self and conscience are largely determined in childhood from parental
values and how you were brought up.
Psychoanalytic – Gestalt Psychology by Carl Gustav Jung
Archetypes
 images and themes that derive from the collective unconscious
 have universal meanings across cultures and may show up in dreams, literature, art or
religion
 We are all connected through our collective unconscious
 We have some basic patterns of personality that comes out in our myths and legends
 These symbols of personality are called archetypes.
Collective Archetypes

 Persona – Outer aspect of personality

 Anima – Female side of our soul (Eve, Earth)
 Animus – Male side of our soul
 Figure in a circle – Self
 Shadow – Our Dark Side
Jung believed that in each person there is both a male and female archetype. These archetypes
often come out in our dreams and our wishes
Male Archetypes

1. The Warrior / Hunter

2. The Healer / Wizard/ Priest /Wise man

I Will Do This

Direction: Give an example on how your id and super ego affects your ego (decision
making/actions)

id superego Decision making/actions

“It’s all yours! Forget about
your siblings and just keep
and eat the food all for
yourself you know that you
want it so bad.”
“You know that your siblings
would also want the food you
have and would ask for it.
You should share with what
you have and not be greedy.”
I would end up by
concluding with what’s my
super-ego and would go
with what I want most for
me and my siblings.

I Learned This

Direction: Draw a picture of an archetype that you associate with yourself and
explain why you chose that archetype.

I chose Hero as my archetype simply because

I had been resilient recently despite of all the
trials and struggles I’ve been through and still
managed to find solutions in each and every
one of them, and being said that I chose to be
a Hero, my main superpower would be lifting
everyone up by encouraging each individual
during their tough times as I did with mine.
