Detailed Explanation
Understanding Freud's Phallic Stage
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the Phallic Stage (occurring roughly from ages 3 to 6) is a critical period where the primary focus of libidinal energy is on the genital area.
- Oedipus Complex: Boys experience unconscious sexual desires for their mothers and rivalry toward their fathers.
- Electra Complex: Girls experience analogous feelings toward their fathers.
- Resolution & Identification: To resolve the anxiety associated with this conflict, the child represses these feelings and adopts the characteristics, values, and gender role of the same-sex parent, which heavily contributes to the development of the Superego and conscience.
Therefore, option B is the correct and most scientifically accurate description of this stage.
