    Which of the following isn't a direct manifestations of Freudian slips? - ProProfs

    Which of the following isn't a direct manifestations of Freudian slips?

    • Misinterpreting a written word

    • Hallucination

    • Misinterpreting a spoken word

    • Calling someone by the wrong name

    Correct Answer
    A. Hallucination
    Explanation
    Hallucination is not a direct manifestation of Freudian slips. Freudian slips refer to unintentional errors in speech or memory that reveal an individual's subconscious thoughts or desires. Misinterpreting a written or spoken word and calling someone by the wrong name are examples of Freudian slips because they can reveal hidden thoughts or feelings. However, hallucinations are perceptual experiences that occur without any external stimulus and are not related to slips of the tongue or memory.

    Concerning the id, which of these is odd? - ProProfs

    Concerning the id, which of these is odd?

    • Reality principle

    • Hunger 

    • Libido

    • Sex

    Correct Answer
    A. Reality principle
    Explanation
    The reality principle is the odd one out because it is not directly related to the concept of id. The id refers to the instinctual and impulsive part of the mind, while hunger, libido, and sex are all drives and desires that are associated with the id. The reality principle, on the other hand, is a concept from psychoanalytic theory that refers to the ego's ability to mediate between the id's demands and the constraints of reality. It is not a specific instinct or drive like the other options.

    What governs human behavior if you're going by Freud's theory?  - ProProfs

    What governs human behavior if you're going by Freud's theory? 

    • Two opposing forces

    • Three opposing forces

    • Five irrational forces

    • Three irrational forces

    Correct Answer
    A. Three irrational forces
    Explanation
    According to Freud's theory, human behavior is governed by three irrational forces. These forces are the id, ego, and superego. The id represents primitive and instinctual desires, the ego mediates between the id and the superego, and the superego represents societal norms and moral values. These three forces constantly interact and influence human behavior, leading to conflicts and compromises within the individual's psyche.
