Personality
Sigmund Freud believed that human personality structured
since birth up to five years old
Personality structure can be classified into three components:-
Id Ego Superego
Biological drive which
operates according to An executive to human
the principle of personality and
pleasure and demands develops when the Operates on the
immediate satisfaction individual is one year principle of perfection.
Exists from birth and age Morale component
is the source of Satisfy id based on developed from social
motivation organized realistic standards and religious
Cannot be evaluated reasoning and logical education
and does not cater thinking accepted by
logic, values, morale the society
and ethics
According to Freud, as a person develops, he or she passes through several psychosexual stages. These stages the
oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital mark important points in the development of a healthy personality.
If transition through these stages doesn't go smoothly, developmental problems arise. Fixation may occur at any
stage. For example, if a child's id doesn't receive enough satisfaction during the oral stage, that infant can become an
adult who eats excessively, drinks, chew, bites, smokes, or talks in quest of the oral satisfaction denied at him/her in
infancy. If bathroom training is premature, it will produce adults who have anal personalities. They will be either
anally retentive overemphasizing neatness, cleanliness, precision, and punctuality or they will be anally expulsive,
exhibiting messiness and disorganization in nearly all matters.
