Question

Although Alex has frequently been caught stealing money and other valuables from friends as well as strangers, he does not feel guilty or remorseful about robbing these people. According to Freud, Alex most clearly demonstrates ___________.A) an inferiority complex.B) free association.C) a weak superego.D) the reality principle.

Answer 1

The answer is C) a weak superego.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Sigmund Freud, human personality is divided into three fundamental structures: the Id, the Ego and the Superego.

The Superego structure of personality is in charge of establishing moral standards, most of which are learned during childhood. In the example, Alex has a weak development of the conscience system, which punishes the person's mind with guilt when engaging in inappropriate behaviours.
