Introduction
The psychologists Albert Bandura along with Sigmund Freud and Burrhus Frederic Skinner were prominent thinkers whose views on growth, which includes ethical growth, are discussed in extensive detail in the subsequent sections. In this instance, for purposes of comparison, certain of their more distinct morality-related beliefs are examined succinctly.
The Psychoanalytical Model of Sigmund Freud
Freud claimed that the logical portion of the individuals mind, the self, or ego, developed from an increasingly primitive, primal id. The id is a psychological element that functions according to the termed pleasure rule. Existing from infancy, the id seeks immediate satisfaction. In accordance with the factual rule, the ego matures subsequently; thus, infants have to discover how to defer satisfaction.
Freud was of the opinion that an infant acquires erotic impulses towards their parent of a different gender between his or her years of 3 and 6. This incorporates a competitive dynamic into relationships between families. For instance, the young girl experiences rivalry with her female parent for the father's devotion. The mechanisms that govern how a kid settles these disagreements are known as the system of Oedipus in males along with the Elektra complex within females. The infant starts to associate with the other gender of parent, females with mothers & males with their dads, as a result of apprehension. Consequently, the infant acquires a sense of morality or superego, the component of the persona which comprehends "right & wrong."
