Assignment 1 – Semester 1 – 2017
QUESTIONS ON FREUD’S THEORY
QUESTION 1

to Freud's theory?
a) The ego begins to develop during the first year of life and is fully developed by the age of six.
b) The ego begins to develop during the first year of life and continues to do so throughout a
person's life.
c) The ego begins to develop during the genital stage and continues to do so throughout the

The correct answer is:
1. (b)

3. (c) & (d)
4. (a), (c) & (d)
Answer: The correct answer is 4
Refer: Tutorial Letter 201/1/2017

first year of life and continues to change throughout a person’s life because it learns

changing id drives and circumstances in physical and social reality. Therefore, the
correct alternative is (4) since you were requested to choose the incorrect
statement/s.

2. Rationalisation
3. Displacement
4. Reaction formation
Answer: The correct answer is 1
