Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 16 times
According to Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory, which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the dynamic balance among the three structural components of personality—Id, Ego, and Superego—and the concept of 'Defense Mechanisms' (such as repression, projection, rationalization, etc.) used by the 'Ego' for mental defense against unwanted or unacceptable impulses, anxieties, and internal conflicts, along with their actual psychological implications for students' emotional adjustment, mental health, and scientific management of defensive behavior in classroom teaching?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the 'Ego' operates on the reality principle. When intense anxiety is generated due to the animalistic desires of the Id and the strict moral commands of the Superego, the Ego unconsciously uses defense mechanisms to distort reality and maintain mental balance.
Key Concepts:
- Role of Ego: Acts as a mediator between Id, Superego, and external reality.
- Function of Defense Mechanisms: Unconscious psychological strategies to cope with anxiety.
- Classroom Implication: Excessive use of defense mechanisms can lead to maladjustment, hence teachers should foster healthy emotional environments.
Therefore, option (A) is the most authentic and scientifically valid statement.

With reference to space science, satellite launch technology, and nanotechnology, consider the following statements: 1. The cryogenic engine used in India's launch vehicles uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer at extremely low temperatures, which is mandatory only for sub-orbital missions providing high thrust. 2. Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) under the 'Startup Blueprint', the 'Small Satellite Launch Vehicle' (SSLV) is designed to place satellites up to 500 kg into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at a low cost, and features a rapid turnaround time. 3. Under nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes are considered extremely useful in the construction of space elevators and advanced composite materials due to their high tensile strength, electrical, and thermal conductivity. 4. Unlike the Global Positioning System (GPS), India's indigenous navigation system 'NavIC' uses a combination of satellites placed in Geostationary (GEO) and Geosynchronous (GSO) orbits, providing accurate positioning service within the Indian mainland and a 1,500 km radius around it. Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely true?
