QUESTIONS ON FREUD’S THEORY
QUESTION 1
Freud’s view of humankind is partly based on the mechanistic assumption. This means that…
(1) the physical principles of energy consumption, conservation and transformation are
regarded as valid for humans as well.
(2) human drives are physiologically based and rooted within the body and that the conflict
which determines behaviour, takes place within the psyche.
(3) the person is caught up in a constant conflict between his or her sexual and aggressive
drives and the demands of society.
(4) human drives are constantly in conflict with the biological and psychic factors which
determine behaviour.
QUESTION 2
Complete the following sentences: The ego functions according to the (a)_______ and the
(b)_______. This means that the ego (c)_______.
(1) (a) primary process
(b) reality principle
(c) finds suitable primary reinforcers to satisfy the id’s drives by taking the physical,
social and moral reality into account
(2) (a) secondary process
(b) reality principle
(c) finds suitable objects for drive satisfaction by planning and evaluating situations,
and by taking the physical and social reality into account
(3) (a) primary process

(4) (a) secondary process

QUESTION 3
The following story is a metaphor (an example) of the structure of the personality, according to
Freud’s theory. Please read it and answer the question which follows.
The future of a big fuel company in South Africa has been reported on the news as facing a
bleak future. The workers demand an increase in their salaries as well as remuneration
packages like performance bonus and housing allowance. They also demand that temporary
workers should be hired so that they work shorter shifts in December. They sent a clear message
that they would like their demands to be met with immediate effect.

May/June 2020
Management weighs the options available to them and realizes that they are in trouble, because
they will have to close down the company if they agree to all the demands set by the workers.
Much as management sees merit in what the workers are saying, they continue to label the
workers’ demands as unrealistic, which is meant to induce guilt on the workers. An independent
labour consultant is then appointed by management to assist in restoring balance in the
company.
According to this story, the id is represented by the (a)_______, while the superego is
represented by the (b)_______.
(1) (a) labour consultant (b) management
(2) (a) mine workers (b) management
(3) (a) labour consultant (b) mine workers
(4) (a) mine workers (b) labour consultant

Ego drives are distinguished from the sexual drives in that…
(1) ego drives are related to the survival of the individual, while sexual drives are related to
the survival of the group.

drives provide the energy required for the functioning of the superego.
