Question:

Which of the following works on the pleasure principle, and seeks immediate gratification?

Options:

Libido

Superego

Id

Ego

Correct Answer:

Id

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Id

  • Id operates on the pleasure principle, meaning it seeks immediate gratification of instinctual desires and urges, regardless of reality or social appropriateness.

  • Ego works on the reality principle, trying to balance the demands of the id and the superego with what's acceptable.

  • Superego represents the moral conscience and internalized societal rules.

  • Libido is the psychic energy derived from sexual and life instincts, but it is not a structure of personality like the id, ego, or superego.
