Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud's psychosexual theory, the phallic stage occurs between the ages of 3 and 6, during which the focus of sexual energy shifts to the genital area, and children develop an unconscious attraction to the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent. Therefore, 4-year-old Austin would be in the phallic stage.
