![]() Males had higher scores on IAT i.e had more problematic use of internet. A total of 32 (6.1%) students reported severe problems with internet usage. Multiple regression analysis was used to delineate ego defenses as predictors of problematic internet use. Chi square, Independent sample t test and One Way ANOVA were run to analyze association of different variables with scores on IAT. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: a) demographic characteristics of respondent b) the Defense Style Questionnaire-40 (DSQ-40) and c) the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). 522 medical and dental students were included in the study. This cross-sectional study was undertaken at CMH Lahore Medical College (CMH LMC) in Lahore, Pakistan from 1st March, 2015 to 30th May, 2015. The present study was designed to analyze association between problematic internet use and use of ego defense mechanisms in medical students. The need to identify groups, cultural differences, and the utility of interventions on transpersonal gratitude in the future gratitude research is emphasised. The findings explain the distinguishable features of the young adults' populace and positive transpersonal experiences. Subsequently, the predictive effect of trait meta-mood on transpersonal gratitude is quantified. The preliminary analysis revealed that the selfless nature was unrelated to transpersonal gratitude. Indian young adults (N = 456) completed scales on transpersonal gratitude, trait meta-mood, and ego-grasping orientation-a Taoist concept. But this relation is not mainly known in the context of this newer form of gratitude. The previous literature had affirmed that a selfless attitude and better mood could determine overall gratitude. Instead, it is directed towards abstract entities beyond self like God, their own state of being, or the cosmos. But it is not the same in the case of transpersonal gratitude. The mainstream empirical research has always viewed gratitude in its triadic form involving a typical human giver, gift, and receiver. It is the source of moral censorship and conscience. Whereas the id operates in pursuit of pleasure and the ego is governed by the reality principle, the superego bids the psychic apparatus to pursue idealistic goals and perfection. The superego is a further differentiation of the ego, which represents its ‘ideal.’ The superego emerges as a consequence of the Oedipal drama, whereby the child takes on the authority and magnificence of parental figures through introjection or identification. It is the center of reason, reality testing, and commonsense, and has at its command, a range of defensive stratagems that can deflect, repress, or transform the expression of unrealistic or forbidden drive energies. It is the ‘executive’ of the personality in the sense that it regulates libidinal drive energies so that satisfaction accords with the demands of reality. The ego is a modification of the id that emerges as a result of the direct influence of the external world. It is a reservoir of basic instinctual drives, particularly sexual (libidinal) drives, which motivate the organism to seek pleasure. ![]() The id is the oldest and the most primitive psychic agency, representing the biological foundations of personality.
