Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The locomotor-genital stage, which occurs between ages 3 and 5, is similar to the phallic stage in Freud's system. Children express a strong desire to take the initiative in many activities. If the parents punish the child and otherwise inhibit these displays of initiative, the child will develop persistent guilt feelings that will affect self-directed activities throughout the person's life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The most important point about the muscular-anal stage of psychosocial development is that for the first time children are able to exercise some choice, to experience the power of their autonomous will. The basic strength that develops from autonomy is will, which involves a determination to exercise freedom of choice and self-restraint in the face of society's demands.
