Class XII - Chapter 2 - Worksheet
Preeta is a school going child. Due to lockdown, she is at home. One day she has an instinct to eat ice-cream,
however there is only one ice-cream bar in the house. She wants to eat it, however, she also realizes that if she
takes it without permission, she may be punished. Therefore the best way for her to achieve gratification is to
ask for permission. This ensure that her behaviour is morally correct and this way it won’t create any guilt,
anxiety or fear.
Present this incidence with respect to the different elements of personality (Id, ego and super-ego).
**ACTIVITY: Show your understanding of the Ego Defense Mechanism by relating it to your own life.
