temperament, the enduring characteristics with which each person is born, influence the
formation of our personality.

regard for the consequences.

pleasure principle - ANS-principle by which the id functions; the immediate satisfaction
of needs without regard for the consequences

ego - ANS-part of the personality that develops out of a need to deal with reality, mostly
conscious, rational, and logical

+ the ego is the executive part of our personality that operates on the reality principle,
gratifying the id's impulses in realistic ways that will bring long-term pleasure.

+ It contains our partly conscious perceptions, memories, thoughts, and judgments and
mediates between the id and superego.

reality principle - ANS-principle by which the ego functions; the satisfaction of the
demands of the id only when negative consequences will not result

conscious - ANS-part of the superego that produces pride or guilt, depending on how
acceptable behavior

fixation - ANS-disorder in which the person does not fully resolve the conflict in a
particular psychosexual stage, resulting in personality traits and behavior associated wit
that earlier stage

psychosexual stages - ANS-five stages of personality development proposed by Freud
and tied to the sexual development of tied
+ He concluded that children pass through a series of stages during which energies are
focused on erogenous zones, distinct pleasure-sensitive areas of the body. Freud called
these stages the psychosexual stages.

+ In these stages, Freud noted how the erogenous areas are both the focus of pleasure
and unresolved conflict.

+ Unresolved conflicts during earlier psychosexual stages could result in maladaptive
behaviors in the adult years.

+ These unresolved conflicts could result in fixations, disorders in which an individual's
behavior is associated with an earlier psychosexual stage or stuck in a previous
psychosexual stage.

oral stage - ANS-first stage occurring in the first ear of life in which the mouth is the
erogenous zone and wearing is the primary effect
+ From Birth to 18 months
+ Babies "see" the world through oral activities such as sucking, feeding, making noises
and sounds, and putting toys in their mouths.
+ According to Freud, babies are dominated by the id and conflict can arise over
weaning the child away from the mother's breast. Weaning that occurs too early or too
late can result in too much or too little satisfaction of the child's oral needs.
+ Overeating, nail biting, gum chewing, talking excessively or drinking too much would
be indications to Freud that a person was experiencing unresolved conflict from the oral
stage.

anal stage - ANS-second stage occurring from about 1-3 ears of age, in which the anus
in the erogenous zone and toilet training is the source of conflict
