Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
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. Such a person becomes stubborn and stingy and hoards or retains things.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: As any parent can attest, the anal stage is a time of conflict for everybody. Children learn that they have a weapon that can be used against their parents. The child has control over something and can choose to comply or not with the parents' demands.
