In the context of Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, if a 4 to 5-year-old boy displays an excessive attachment toward his mother and feelings of rivalry or jealousy toward his father, which ultimately results in the resolution of establishing identification with his father, how is this specific psychological state and its associated complex known according to Freud's theory?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the third stage of development is the 'Phallic Stage' (approximately 3 to 6 years of age).
Key Concepts:
- Oedipus Complex: During this stage, boys experience the Oedipus complex, characterized by an unconscious sexual desire for the mother and a sense of rivalry/jealousy toward the father.
- Resolution and Identification: To resolve castration anxiety, the boy eventually represses these desires and identifies with the father, adopting his moral values and characteristics.
- Electra Complex: A similar dynamic occurring in young girls is known as the Electra complex.
Therefore, the correct association is the Oedipus Complex within the Phallic Stage.
