According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, in the context of the three structural components of personality—'Id', 'Ego', and 'Superego'—by which mental component and for what purpose are 'Defense Mechanisms' primarily operated?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, when conflict arises between the primal desires of the 'Id' and the moral pressures of the 'Superego', the 'Ego' utilizes various 'Defense Mechanisms' such as repression, projection, and rationalization at an unconscious level to protect itself from the resulting anxiety.
Key Concepts:
- Ego: Acts as a mediator and employs defense mechanisms to reduce anxiety.
- Anxiety: Arises from the conflict between Id, Superego, and external reality.
