What is superego



  • Incorporates the values and morals of society
  • Persuades the ego to use moralistic goals instead of realistic ones
  • Strives for perfection
  • Consists of two systems: consciousness and ideal self
  • Consciousness can punish the ego by using guilt
  • Ideal self is an imaginary picture of how and who you ought to be
  • Superego can be punished if it does not fit the ideal self
