For each person, the first to emerge is the id, followed by the ego, and the last to develop is superego.The idPlays a vital role in ones personality

Child is born with the id

Operates on the pleasure principle

Not oriented towards considering reality nor the needs of others. (babies cry any time of day and night without considering mommy is tired or daddy is sleeping)

The idFor example, a baby is hungry. Its id wants food or milk so the baby will cry.When the child needs to be changed, the id cries.When the child is uncomfortable, in pain, too hot, too cold, or just wants attention, the id speaks up until his or her needs are met.

The egoSlowly begin to emerge as the baby turns into a toddler and then into a preschooler where he/she can relates more with the environment.

Operates using reality principle

Aware that others also have needs to be met.The egoIt knows that being impulsive or selfish can result to negative consequences.

Functions to help the id meet its needs, it always takes into account the reality of the situation.The superegoDevelops at the end of preschool years, or the end of phallic stage.

Embodies a persons moral aspect ( develops from what the parents, teachers and the other persons who exert influence impart to be good or moral.)

Likened to conscience because it exerts influence on what one considers right or wrong.

a well-adjusted person is one who has strong ego, who can help satisfy the needs of the id without going against the superego while maintaining the persons sense of what is logical, practical and real. - FreudThe 3 Components and Personality AdjustmentThe UnconsciousThe ConsciousThe SubconsciousThe UnconsciousFreud believed that most of what influence us is our unconscious.

Oedipus and Electra Complex both buried down in the unconscious, out of our awareness due to the extreme anxiety they caused.They still influence our thinking, feeling and doing in perhaps dramatic ways.The ConsciousFreud said that all that we are aware of is stored in our conscious mind.

Comprises a very small part of who we are.In our everyday life, we are only aware of a very small part of what makes up our personality; most of what we are is hidden and out of reach.The SubconsciousPreconscious or subconscious

Part of us that we can reach if prompted but not in our active conscious.

Still hidden somewhat unless we search for it.Information such as our:Telephone numberSome childhood memoriesThe name of your best childhood friendThe Iceberg Metaphor
