Accepted Answer

In Freudian theory, anxiety is considered a trigger for repression. Freud believed that anxiety is an unpleasant feeling that arises when unacceptable impulses threaten to enter consciousness, leading the ego to employ repression as a defense mechanism to keep these impulses out of awareness.

With this defense mechanism, a repressed desire finds an opposite and exaggerated expression&#10;A)fixation&#10;B)reaction formation&#10;C)sublimation&#10;D)undoing

Accepted Answer

Reaction formation is a defense mechanism where an unacceptable or unwanted thought or feeling is expressed as its opposite. For example, a person who harbors feelings of hatred might exhibit overly friendly behavior towards the object of their hate.

The anal triad, according to psychoanalytic theory, includes miserliness, stubbornness, and compulsive neatness, but not aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is not typically associated with the anal stage of psychosexual development.

Question 9

For boys, the Castration complex&#10;A)takes the form of penis envy&#10;B)shatters the oedipus complex&#10;C)comes before the oedipus complex&#10;D)both a and c

Accepted Answer

The castration complex is a stage in psychosexual development in which boys come to fear that they will be castrated by their father. This fear is triggered by the boy's realization that his mother does not have a penis, and that he could therefore be castrated by his father. The castration complex shatters the Oedipus complex, which is the boy's desire to have sex with his mother and kill his father.

Question 10

Freud believed that, for girls&#10;A)the oedipus complex precedes the castration complex&#10;B)the castration complex takes the form of castration anxiety&#10;C)the oedipus complex is solved when they identify with their father, at around age 5 or 6&#10;D)none of the above
