The ego ideal is the component of the superego that holds the standards for moral behavior and is developed based on the child's experiences of being praised and approved of by significant others such as parents, teachers, or peers. It provides a sense of satisfaction and pride when one lives up to the standards of behavior set by the ego ideal.
