Young Desirae and Freudian Theory

Understanding Young Desirae's Behavior

Young Desirae is always asking her mother for things. "Mommy, can I have a cookie?" "Mommy, can I have a new toy?" "Mommy, can I have a drink of water?" "Mommy, I want to stay up late." The fact that Desirae is not at all interested in what her Mommy wants and instead focuses only on her own pleasure needs suggests that she operates mostly from the __________ component of her personality.

What component of personality is Young Desirae most likely operating from in this scenario?

Answer:

ID

Explanation:

Hi! From Freudian theory, the ID contains our basic and instinctive motives. If these desires are not satisfied immediately, the result is stress and anxiety for the individual. The ID seeks to increase pleasure instantly. That's why the girl wants to satisfy only her needs.
