The correct answer is: "integrity vs despair"

The question is refered to Erickson's steps of psychosocial development. This theory appoints that each stage in life poses a challenge. Two opposing forces act over the person, who has to be able to resolve the trade-off, by adopting the positive force (integrity, in this case) and discarding the negative one (despair), in order to sucessfully advance in the development of his/her psychosocial personality. The sucessful fulfilment of one step enables to reach the next step.  

This period in a person's life, after 65 years old, means the beginning of the last stage of psychosocial development in which the person, for the first time, experiences a sense of mortality. Reaching integrity means accepting oneshelf and living in peace the way towards death, which is felt with proximity at this point in life.

​According to psychologist Sigmund Freud, human development occurs in three states that reflect different levels of the personal
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The rational, reality-oriented component of the personality, according to Freud, is known as the Id.

Explanation:

Freud set three states, or levels of the personality; ego, id, superego.

  • Ego refers to the <em>innate impulses</em>, the <em>"animal"</em> in us.
  • Superego acts as a moral compass, guiding the individual towards the path generally accepted by society.

Id is the mediator between the two pervious terms; it is governed by the reality principle. It calms both states down in order to help the person to mend more into society. The id prevents the ego from taking over and only looking for short term gratification and it prevents toe superego from "suffocating" the individual with its restrictive nature.

To summarize, it is the rational, reality-oriented component which regulates both sides.
