Detailed Explanation & Solution
Detailed Explanation of the Phallic Stage and Identification
According to Sigmund Freud's Theory of Psychosexual Development, during the Phallic Stage (approximately ages 3 to 6), children experience a special romantic attachment toward the opposite-sex parent (Oedipus complex in boys, Electra complex in girls).
- Castration Anxiety: Boys experience a fear of punishment or castration from their fathers.
- Resolution through Identification: To resolve this intense psychological conflict and fear, the child unconsciously identifies with the same-sex rival parent (father for boys, mother for girls).
- Development of Super-ego: This crucial process of identification leads to the internalization of parental values and the development of the Super-ego and conscience.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
