Under Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, with reference to the concepts of 'Electra Complex' and 'Oedipus Complex' experienced by children in the 'Phallic Stage' and 'Defense Mechanisms', which of the following statements is most scientifically and logically valid?

Detailed Explanation & Solution

According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis and psychosexual development theory, in the phallic stage (approximately 3 to 6 years of age), boys experience the 'Oedipus complex' where they feel sexual attachment to their mother and jealousy towards their father. This creates a fear of being punished by the father, known as castration anxiety. To resolve this fear, the boy establishes identification with his father by internalizing his qualities and values, which aids in the development of the superego.
