Question

Anthony is sick of writing papers and studying for tests, but he knows he needs a college degree if he wants to be successful in his chosen career. So every morning Anthony gives himself a dressing down—in essence, yelling at himself—to make himself get out of bed and go to classes, and every evening he does the same thing to get himself to do his work. According to Freud, which personality structure is in control here?

Answer 1

Answer: Superego

Explanation:

According to Freud, the personality structure which is seen in Anthony is Superego. Superego can be defined as the personality which is composed of our internalized ideals that is acquired from the parents and society.

This works to suppress the urge of the identity and makes ego behave morally rather than it realistically.

In this condition, the person is not able to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. It is a kind of conscience behavior that Antony is not willing to do good works.
