Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
PTS: 1
A-HEAD: Psychosexual Stages of Personality Development
REF: 54
FEEDBACK: A new set of problems arises around the fourth to fifth year, when the focus of pleasure shifts from the anus to the genitals. This stage is called the phallic stage. Children at the phallic stage display considerable interest in exploring and manipulating the genitals, their own and those of their playmates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: One of the ways a child may react to the frustration of toilet training is to hold back or
retain the feces. Parents may become worried, even frantic, if the child goes days without a bowel movement. Thus, the child discovers a new method for securing parental attention and affection. This behavior is the basis for the development of an anal retentive personality. The anal retentive person is
likely to be rigid, compulsively neat, obstinate, and overly conscientious.
