According to Sigmund Freud, the correct statement about the superego is:
c. It holds up shining models of an ideal self and monitors the intentions of the ego.
1. The superego is the part of our psyche that represents our internalized ideals and provides standards for judgment, known as the conscience.
2. It includes the moral and ethical standards we have acquired from our parents and society, reflecting what is considered right and wrong.
3. The superego acts as a moral compass, striving for perfection and criticizing the ego for any shortcomings or moral failings.
4. By setting up idealistic standards, the superego guides our behavior by promoting actions that align with these moral values and by inhibiting impulses that conflict with them.
