Under Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, when a child passes through the 'Phallic Stage' around 3 to 6 years of age, the 'Oedipus Complex' and 'Electra Complex' arising in this phase are resolved as the child identifies with the same-sex parent. This psychological process is the direct result of the over-activation of which structural component of Freud's personality theory?

✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
In Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory, during the 'Phallic Stage', the Oedipus complex (attraction toward the mother and rivalry with the father in boys) and the Electra complex (attraction toward the father in girls) develop. This internal conflict is resolved when the child renounces the desire for the opposite-sex parent and establishes identification with the same-sex parent. This internalization of moral development and social values is the result of the emergence and influence of the third component of personality, the 'Superego'.
