| Question | Answer |
| What did Freud think? | Huge impact on the study of social behaviour. One of the first people to draw attention to the study of the unconscious. People's sexuality have an impact on their social behaviour, what happens to us as children can affect what happens to us as adults. First person to develop talking cures (therapist), the importance of talking. resistance to ideas. |
| We learn through interactions with our parents, and we internalise or values through physical punishment. Thought that humans were not nice. | We have sexual aggressive impulses we learn through physical desires. We can repress these things but they will eventually come out. Instincts will always emerge but there is always a conflict between society and our desires. |
| What are the three most important concepts of psychoanalysis of the Freudian theory? | The ID, EGO and SUPEREGO. |
| The what is the ID concept about? | The most primitive part of who we are ad all of our basic urges, the need to eat, sleep and be safe but is most of all our sexual pleasures/instincts. ID wants sexual satisfaction and people want it now according to Freud. |
| Why do people not express there sexual needs? What is the EGO concept about? | The EGO tries to satisfy the demands of the ID in accordance of what society deems acceptable. E.g. if you wanted to kiss someone you wouldn't just kiss them, you would ask them for coffee first. |
| What is the SUPER-EGO about? | The superego acts as a moral policeman, your conscious. Deals out guilt e.g. I shouldn't have done that... When your desires come into consciousness the superego comes out and beats them down, your sexual energy will always come out. These wants and desires will always come around. Represents internalized rules of parents and society. If rules are broken the superego metes out punishment. This leads to intense anxiety, guilt and self-reproach. |
| What is displacement n terms of defense mechanisms? | When people redirect their sexual impulses into a safer channel, something more socially acceptable. E.g. You go to the gym and jog because people can't handle their sexual energy, and will get rid of their sexual energy. |
| When does rationalisation occur and what is it n terms of defense mechanisms? | Negative thoughts break into consciousness, people tend to justify their regressive of sexual behaviour. E.g. the rapist says that the women was attacked because she was wearing a short dress and was asking for it. Victim blame, armed robbers after being caught when asked why they terrorise people they say that's not how we look at it. Defense mechanism from feeling guilt so they rationalise and justify their actions. |
| What is projection n terms of defense mechanisms? | When your urges are projected onto others. You aren't a nice person, other people are meaner than I am. |
| What is isolation in terms of defense mechanisms? | Tends to happen when people are so traumatized that they can't deal with the emotions. Isolate yourself from pain and trauma to live from day to day. E.g. someone has been raped, they can talk about the event without emotion and with logic (defense mechanism) if emotion broke through into consciousness they wouldn't be able to handle it and function normally. |
| Origins of unconscious conflicts Oral stage. | When kids put pretty much everything in their mouths is because they receive sexual satisfaction. |
| Origins of unconscious conflicts Anal stage. | Children gain satisfaction from potty training... |
| Origins of unconscious conflicts Phallic stage? | Where the area of sexual pleasure moves to the genitals. |
| Origins of unconscious conflicts what is the latency stage? | Time of dormant sexuality E.g. when boys don't like girls and boys don't like girls. |
| Origins of unconscious conflicts what is the genital stage? | Start to become ready for adult sexual experiences. |
| The Phallic Stage | Most important stage, 4-5 year old boy wants to have sex with mum and hates father because will get into trouble with father if finds out. Castration anxiety. Theory that boy identifies with father to become a man, because wants to have sex with mother. |
| Electra complex | Most women rage with penis envy and hopes her dad will give her one through a baby. Feels guilty and identifies with mum and will one day will meet someone like dad and will give her penis substitute. |
| What happens is you have problems with the Psycho-sexual stages? | The problems will eventually catch up to you through these stages, Oral, Anal, and the Phallic stage. According to Freud. |
| What happens if you have issues during the oral stage? | You smoke or drink. |
| What do problems in the anal stage lead to? | Not wanting to spend money or let go off things. You may tend to like painting. |
| Phallic stage problems | If you feel intense guilt over wanting to have sex with your mum you might repress it so much that you will become gay. |
| Why were Freud's theories not reliable or true? | 1. Concepts are little more than metaphors. 2. Used restricted sample. Rich ladies in Vienna, didn't study different cultures. 3. Never actually studied children. 4. Little experimental evidence to support ideas. 5. Ideas not falsifiable. |
| Kistascope | words are flashed, threatening words, non threatening words. when you see a word say the word, threatening words took longer to say because they were repressed thoughts and feelings. |
| Why do we teach Freud? | Some refuse to teach Freud because his ideas were disrepute people often refer to him as a Freud. Literature, Anthropology etc still examine Freudian ideas and buy into his ideas. |
| Goof things from Freud in Psychology? | We know that therapy works because of Freud e.g. talking about your problems. What effects us in childhood will effect us later on. We have an unconscious and are unaware of what we do and why we do it. Learn things from parents, how to act in social situations etc. |
