Question

What makes the id different from the superego? Only the id is part of Freud's exploration of the conscious mind. The id is part of the unconscious mind, and the superego is always conscious. The id explains all of a person's actions, and the superego only concerns itself with morals. Only the id makes decisions about what it wants to have happen.

Answer 1

The id is part of the unconscious mind, and the superego is always conscious.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Freud, the id is a primitive and very deep part of the mind, part of the unconscious, where the deepest and most aggressive impulses and the best kept memories are kept. As the id is part of the unconscious, the individual often does not realize that he has this type of thought and impulse.

Freud also analyzed the superego and realized that, unlike the id, the superego is not part of the unconscious but of the moral conscience, where the individual builds his compositions and limits his wills.
