Michelle was reared in a home where high moral principles dominated. She has attended Sunday school and church since early childhood. In high school, her boyfriend asked her to miss school and go on a cruise with him, but something from inside her told her not to. She felt very proud of herself afterward for holding her ground. Which Freudian personality structure made Michelle feel proud of her response?

Super ego

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud is considered the father of psychoanalysis, which is a school of psychology which places the unconscious as the part of our personality that guides a lot of our behavior and that it is formed through our desires that were not met during childhood.

Freud proposed that we had 3 different personality structures:

In this example, Michelle was raised under high moral principles, she has attended church since she was a little girl. In highschool, her boyfriend told her to miss school and go on a cruise together but "something" inside her told her not to and she felt very proud of herself after that. This "something" would be her conscience that told her that missing school was wrong. Therefore, the Freudian structure that made her feel proud of her response would be the superego since this is the one that tells us what's right and what's wrong.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
