* When the [[id]] impulses are in [[conflict]] with each [[other]];
* When [[The Id|the id ]] impulses conflict with [[superego]] values and beliefs;
* When an [[external]] [[threat]] is posed to the [[ego]].
For example, when the id impulses (e.g. [[desire]] to have sex with a stranger) conflict with the [[SuperEgo|superego ]] (e.g. [[belief]] in societal conventions of not having sex with unknown persons), then the [[feelings]] of anxiety come to the surface. To reduce these [[negative]] feelings, defense mechanisms are employed.
The concept of the [[biological]] id impulses comes from [[Sigmund Freud]]’s [[structural model]]. Id impulses are based on the [[pleasure principle]]: instant [[gratification]] of one’s own desires and [[needs]]. Sigmund Freud believed that id represents the [[instinctual]] impulses in ourselves, which are [[aggression]], and [[sexual]]. The sexual [[drive]] is our drive to live, to thrive and to grow. The aggression drive is our drive for safety and protection of our lives. Those two impulse [[drives]] are the motivating factors of our actions.
