4) One of Sigmund Freud’s major contributions to the subject of psychology is his personality theory. Freud believed that our personality is made up of three subsystems: Id, Ego and Superego. The three parts of our personality have to negotiate every moment and influence every decision we make. The Id is selfish (thinking only of ourselves) and the Superego is selfless (thinking only of others). How has your Ego resolved some of these conflicts during this time in isolation: What have you done that is selfish (Id) (10pts)? What have you done that is selfless (Superego) (10pts)? (Chapter 4, 20pts)
5) Conditioning is defined as a situation that brings about a change in the behavior of an organism. In classical conditioning, the change is automatic. Many of us have been conditioned by life events to fear or experience pleasure in response to certain objects and situations. In operant conditioning, the change is much more under voluntary control. Our behavior is constantly influenced by patterns of rewards and punishments. What behaviors have you changed through classical or operant conditioning during this time in isolation: Have you experienced any new fears? Found any new pleasures? Learned something new and then rewarded yourself for it? Did something “bad” and then punished yourself for it? (Chapter 4, 20pts)
