Students will gain insight into ego defense mechanisms.

Case Scenarios and Personality Components

Case 1: Neelam prioritizes a good deal at a graduation party, pushing others aside. Justification: This scenario likely represents the id. The id is driven by primal desires and seeks immediate gratification.
Case 2: Michael waits to eat his lunch so as not to bother his supervisor. His behavior is likely representing the ego. The ego is responsible for mediating the demands of the id, superego, and reality. He is trying to act in accordance with accepted social behavior (not eating at the office).
Case 3: Ali turns lost money in to the school office to hopefully return to its rightful owner. Justification: This scenario likely represents the superego. The superego operates on principles of morality and societal expectations. Ali acts in a morally responsible manner.
Case 4: Alia, wanting to wear a pendant, asks her roommate to allow her to borrow it. The behavior here is likely driven by the ego. Alia is trying to get what she wants (the pendant) but balancing it by requesting permission from her roommate, which demonstrates socially acceptable behavior.
Case 5: Ahmad makes a joke in class. The behavior is likely from the id. The joke may be used to get a reaction from the audience, representing a primal desire for recognition.
