Concept:Freud’s psychoanalytic theory divides personality into id, ego, and superego. The ego operates on the reality principle.
Explanation:The id seeks instant pleasure (pleasure principle).
The ego deals with the real world; it postpones urges until socially acceptable ways are found.
It is logical, rational, and follows the reality principle to balance id’s demands with external rules.
The superego is the moral conscience (idealistic principle).
Thus, the ego is guided by the reality principle, not pleasure or ideals.
