Under Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, during the 'Anal Stage', what contrasting personality traits or characteristics did Freud hypothesize would develop in adult personality as a result of overly strict or overly lenient potty training experiences?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory, during the anal stage (approximately 1.5 to 3 years), the child's primary source of pleasure is the anal region, and toilet training is a central developmental task. If parents adopt an overly strict or punitive approach during training, the child becomes 'anal-retentive', exhibiting extreme cleanliness, stubbornness, stinginess, and a need for control. Conversely, if parents are overly lenient or lax, the child develops an 'anal-expulsive' personality, characterized by disorganization, carelessness, and a rebellious nature.
