According to Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically accurate regarding the core psychological dynamics of the 'Anal Stage' and 'Phallic Stage', including the emergence of complexes such as the 'Electra Complex' and 'Oedipus Complex' and their impact on personality development?

Detailed Explanation & Solution

Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory

According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, during the Phallic Stage (approximately 3 to 6 years of age), a child's focus of pleasure is centered on the genitals.

  • Oedipus Complex: Occurs in boys, where they develop an unconscious sexual desire for their mother and view their father as a rival.
  • Electra Complex: Occurs in girls, where they develop an attachment to their father.
  • Identification: This conflict is successfully resolved when the child identifies with the same-sex parent, which plays a crucial role in the development of the conscience (Superego) and moral values.
