QUESTIONS ON FREUD’S THEORY
QUESTION 1
Which of the following statement/s about the development of the ego is/are INCORRECT, according
to Freud's theory?
a) The ego begins to develop during the first year of life and is fully developed by the age of six.
b) The ego begins to develop during the first year of life and continues to do so throughout a
person's life.
c) The ego begins to develop during the genital stage and continues to do so throughout the
remainder of a person's life.
d) The ego begins to develop during the first year of life and continues to do so provided the

The correct answer is:
1. (b)
2. (a) & (c)
3. (c) & (d)
4. (a), (c) & (d)
Answer: The correct answer is 4
Refer: Tutorial Letter 201/1/2017
Reasoning: Freud has made it very clear in his theory that the ego begins to develop during the
first year of life and continues to change throughout a person’s life because it learns
through experience, learns new ways of drive satisfaction, and learns to adapt to
changing id drives and circumstances in physical and social reality. Therefore, the
correct alternative is (4) since you were requested to choose the incorrect
statement/s.
QUESTION 2
Last week Tuesday things went terribly wrong for Ntswaki at work. When she got home she attacked
her husband and their children verbally for no apparent reason. The following day she accused them
of being mean and inconsiderate. What defence mechanism was Ntswaki using according to Freud?
1. Projection
2. Rationalisation
3. Displacement
4. Reaction formation
Answer: The correct answer is 1
Refer: Tutorial Letter 201/1/2017
Reasoning: Ntswaki was mean towards her husband and children and in turn accused them of
being mean towards her. Freud described projection as an attempt to keep
unconscious psychic material unconscious by subjectively changing the focus to the
drives of other people. This makes alternative (1) the correct answer since the stem
of the question fits with the description outlined in the above scenario. Refer to the
prescribed book and check how rationalization, displacement and reaction
