PSY 2012 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Unconscious Mind, Freudian Slip, Phallic Stage
Document Summary
All behavior is the desire to maximize bene ts and minimize costs. The expectation that people will help, not hurt, those who have helped them. The expectation that people will help those who are dependent on them. Con icting parties get caught mutually in destructive behavior pursuing their own ends and creating outcomes that are bad. Each party views itself as moral and the other as unworthy and evil-intentioned. Psychodynamic theories: view human behavior as dynamic interaction between conscious and unconscious mind. Conscious: thoughts of which we are aware. Preconscious: retrievable info not already in conscious. Id: strive to satisfy basic sexual and aggressive drives. Ego: conscious executive that mediates among the demands of the id, superego and reality. Superego: internalized ideas and provides standards for judgement. Girls suffer from penis envy not the electra complex. Lingering focus of pleasure seeking energies at an earlier psychosexual stage, where con icts were unresolved. Passive dependence or exaggerated denial or grati cation.
