Q

criminal behaviour

weak superego

A

superego is moral regulator of behaviour.
It punishes the ego with anxiety when an immoral act is contemplated and with guilt.
A weak superego would result in few of the inhibitions against antisocial behaviour

25
Q

criminal behaviour

deviant superego

A

superego has deviant values and punishes those behaviours the same-sex parent would find unacceptable.
A son raised in a family where the father is a criminal, the superego wouldn’t react to criminal acts that the father would engage in

26
Q

criminal behaviour

strong superego

A

a strong superego can prevent the person from expressing any of the antisocial impulses that build up in their unconscious. They would normally express these impulses harmlessly through defence mechanisms. If the super ego prevents this from happening aggression could build up over time and become strong enough to overwhelm the ego and express violence.
