Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Justin's decision to prioritize finishing his assignment before going to the party reflects the functioning of his ego, which balances his conscious desires and the demands of the superego (which values responsibility and adherence to social norms) and id (which prioritizes pleasure-seeking and impulse gratification). The ego helps individuals make rational decisions that balance competing demands and desires.
