8. Examples of
SuperEgo
A woman feels an urge to steal office
supplies from work. However, her
superego counteracts this urge by
focusing on the fact that such
behaviors are wrong.
A student forgot to study for a history
test and feels an urge to cheat off of a
student sitting nearby. Even though
he feels like the chances of getting
caught are low, he knows that
cheating is wrong, so he suppresses
the urge.

9. Freud’s Psychosexual Theory And 5 Stages Of Human
Development Sigmund Freud
proposed that
personality
development in
childhood takes
place during five
psychosexual stages,
which are the oral,
anal, phallic,
latency, and genital
stages.

10. Aaron Loeb
Some people cannot leave one stage and proceed to the
next. One reason for this may be that the needs of the
developing individual at any particular stage may not
have been adequately met, in which case there is
frustration.
Or, possibly, the person’s needs may have been so well
satisfied that he/she is reluctant to leave the
psychological benefits of a particular stage in which
there is overindulgence.

11. For example, during the first two years of life, the
infant who is neglected (insufficiently fed) or who is
over-protected (over-fed) might become an orally
fixated person (Freud, 1905).
