Question

Cookie Monster, one of the characters on the children's TV show Sesame Street, has an intense urge to consume cookies, even when doing so is irrational and maladaptive. Eating cookies gives Cookie Monster a great source of pleasure and satisfaction. Freud would say that his behavior reflects the fact that Cookie Monster is ruled by his _____.
a) id
b) ego
c) superego
d) edipus Complex

Answer 1

Answer:

Id  

Explanation:

It is the concept of personality theory that was proposed by Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud was a personality theorist who proposed this concept. In personality theory, there are three principles.  

Id: Id is the first principle of personality theory. This principle is based on the pleasure principle. In this principle, the child wants to seek pleasure. He just wants to fulfill, his gratification by hook or by crook. The child does not think about others. He focused on the self.  

• Ego

• Superego

Thus the same happened with the Cookie Monster, one of the characters in children's TV shows. The cookie monster is ruled by Id principle.
