Question

Charise and Noreen were having a conversation about men. "You know," Noreen said, "I think my husband tries to annoy me! Even though he tries to do what I ask, I think that subconsciously he really enjoys ticking me off to see the reactions he'll get. Freud must have been right!" Charise, who has just studied personality psychology in school, corrects Noreen by saying which of the following?

A) "You're probably right, Noreen. Freud was really into subconscious motives."B) "Freud's theory has absolutely no validity in the modern times, Noreen. Stop analyzing your husband!"C) "Freud really didn't address the psychological functioning of men, Noreen, only women."D) "Well, Noreen, there really is no "subconscious" in Freud's theory!"

Answer 1

"Well, Noreen, there really is no 'subconscious' in Freud's theory!"

Step-by-step explanation:

Charise would correct Noreen by letting her know that there is no subconscious in the theory of personality by Freud. According to Freud in his psychoanalytic theory of personality development, he stated that the personality of an individual is formed by three conflicting basic structures of the human mind, which include the id, ego, and superego. There is no such thing as sub-conscious in this theory.
