Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Oedipus/Electra complex is resolved by identification with the same-sex parent, which means that sons identify with their fathers and daughters with their mothers. This process leads to the adoption of the parent's values, beliefs, and behaviors as one's own, and the suppression of sexual feelings toward the same-sex parent. This resolution allows for the development of a mature sexual identity and the ability to form healthy romantic relationships outside the family. Displacement of sexual urges to substitute objects or attachment to the opposite-sex parent are not part of the resolution of the Oedipus/Electra complex.
