Definitions of Individual Psyche Structures

Freud proposed three structures of the psyche or personality:
Id: a selfish, primitive, childish, pleasure-oriented part of the personality with no ability to delay gratification.

Superego: internalized societal and parental standards of "good" and "bad" and "right" and "wrong" behavior.

Ego: the moderator between the id and superego which seeks compromises to pacify both. Can be viewed as our "Sense of Self".
