Question
Download Solution PDFPhallic stage of Psychosexual theory of Freud corresponds to which stage of Erikson's Psychosocial development theory ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFreud's Phallic Stage (3-6 years) focuses on the child's awareness of their own body, gender identity, and curiosity about differences between sexes. During this stage, children experience the Oedipus complex (in boys) and Electra complex (in girls), which shape their emotional and social development.
Key Points
- Erikson's Initiative vs. Guilt Stage (3-6 years) occurs during the same age range and emphasizes the development of initiative and independence.
- Children begin exploring their environment, asking questions, and taking on new challenges.
- If encouraged, they develop a sense of initiative; if restricted, they may develop guilt over their desires and actions.
Hence, the correct answer is Initiative versus Guilt.
Hint
- Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year): Infants develop trust when caregivers provide consistent care.
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years): Toddlers learn independence and self-control.
- Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years): Children focus on developing skills and competence in school and social settings.
