Detailed Explanation
Understanding Freud's Phallic Stage
In Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory, the Phallic Stage (approximately 3 to 6 years of age) is considered extremely crucial. During this stage, children's focus centers on their genitals, leading to the development of the Oedipus Complex in boys and the Electra Complex in girls.
- Oedipus Complex: Boys experience romantic feelings for their mother and view their father as a rival.
- Castration Anxiety: Boys fear retaliation from their father.
- Identification: To resolve this anxiety, the boy identifies with the father, adopting his characteristics and developing the superego.
Therefore, option (a) accurately describes the psychological mechanism proposed by Freud.
