Under Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, what is the psychological complex that arises during the 'Phallic Stage' where a boy experiences an unconscious sexual attraction toward his mother and views his father as a rival or threat, while the counterpart concept for a girl is known as the 'Electra Complex'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's psychosexual development theory, the third stage is the Phallic Stage (approximately 3 to 6 years of age), where the child's focus centers on the genitals.
Key Concepts in the Phallic Stage:
- Oedipus Complex: Develops in boys, characterized by an unconscious sexual desire for the mother and viewing the father as a rival.
- Electra Complex: The corresponding phenomenon observed in girls during the same developmental stage.
Therefore, the specific psychological complexity described for the boy is the Oedipus Complex.
