Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud's psychosexual theory, the phallic stage (ages 3-6) is characterized by the child's focus on their genitalia and identifying with the same-sex parent. In this stage, children may exhibit behaviors such as masturbation and curiosity about the differences between genders. Therefore, Bryan's behavior is consistent with the phallic stage of development.
