Identify and describe the three types of anxiety identified by Freud
What will be an ideal response?
(1) REALITY ANXIETY: Fear arising from a threat or danger in the real world; the most basic form of anxiety because it is rooted in objective reality. To deal with reality anxiety, avoid or escape from the situation provoking the feeling.
(2) NEUROTIC ANXIETY: Fear that id impulses will get out of control and lead you to do something that will result in punishment. Not a fear of id impulses per se; rather, a fear of the punishment that may result from expressing them. Because you cannot escape from your id, neurotic anxiety is harder to deal with than reality anxiety.
(3) MORAL ANXIETY: Fear experienced when you have violated (or are about to violate) an introjected moral code. Moral anxiety is fear of conscience that is part of the superego; it is experienced as shame or guilt. The source of moral anxiety is internal, the workings of your conscience. Because you cannot escape from your conscience, it is also difficult to deal with moral anxiety.

An alien from outer space was just captured. Scientists take turns examining the being. At a press conference, one of the scientists reports that the alien can hear frequencies between 10,000 and 30,000 Hz
How does the alien's ability to detect sound compare to a human being's ability? a) The alien and humans detect the same frequencies. b) Humans can detect higher frequencies than the alien. c) The alien can detect higher frequencies than humans, but its hearing is not as acute at lower frequencies. d) Humans can detect higher frequencies than the alien; however, the alien detects lower frequencies better than humans.
