According to Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Development Theory, when a child enters the Latency Period (from around age 6 to puberty) where the libido is temporarily dormant and focused on intellectual development, social skills, and same-sex friendships, followed by the Genital Stage after puberty where sexual energy re-emerges and is directed toward heterosexual attraction and mature affection; which of the following statements is scientifically the most accurate regarding this developmental paradigm?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's Theory of Psychosexual Development, the period from approximately age 6 to puberty is termed the Latency Period. During this stage, sexual energy (libido) remains dormant, and the child redirects this energy into socialization, education, sports, and peer relationships through a process known as sublimation.
Following puberty, the Genital Stage begins, marking the resurgence of sexual energy and the development of mature romantic and social relationships with the opposite sex. Therefore, option (b) provides the most precise psychological explanation.
- Option A is incorrect because libido is not destroyed during the latency period; it is merely latent or channeled elsewhere.
- Option C is incorrect because the id, ego, and superego all continue to exist and interact throughout life.
- Option D is incorrect because the latency period is characterized by a *decrease* in sexual focus, while the Oedipus complex occurs earlier during the phallic stage.
