Detailed explanation-1: -The psychosexual energy, or libido, was described as the driving force behind behavior. Psychoanalytic theory suggested that personality is mostly established by the age of five. Early experiences play a large role in personality development and continue to influence behavior later in life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stage III: 3-6 years old, phallic, genitalia: This is perhaps the most controversial stage of Freud’s psychosexual development. This is the stage in which the child begins to experience pleasure associated with their genitalia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Finally, the superego. The superego, the last component of personality to develop, starts to emerge around the age of five when a child interacts more and more with others, learning the social rules for right and wrong.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Freud, the development of personality depends on instinctual drives, unconscious processes, and early childhood influences; thus, a person’s personality is more or less solidified within the first five years of life.
Detailed explanation-5: -Freud’s work led him to conclude that the superego does not begin to develop until the age of 5 or 6, and probably is not firmly established until several years later.
