According to Freud's psychosexual stages of development, the third stage is the phallic stage, which occurs from ages 3 to 6. During this stage, children become aware of their own genitalia and develop a sexual attraction to the opposite-sex parent. This leads to conflict and anxiety, as the child fears punishment from the same-sex parent (due to the Oedipus or Electra complex). Therefore, if a young man is experiencing anxiety over competition, Freud would suggest that it reflects earlier problems during the phallic stage of development.
