Detailed Explanation & Solution
Freud's Psychosexual Stages
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the Anal Stage typically occurs from about 1.5 to 3 years of age, where the primary focus is on bowel and bladder control.
- Anal Retentive Personality: If toilet training is too strict or rigid, fixations occur, leading to adults who are obsessively clean, orderly, stingy, and stubborn.
- Anal Expulsive Personality: In contrast, overly lenient training can lead to messy and disorganized traits.
Therefore, the traits described in the question correspond directly to fixation in the Anal Stage.
