Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fixations occur when a person is either deprived or overindulged in pleasurable experiences at a given stage. This can happen at any stage, leading to a fixation that persists into adulthood. The negative stereotypes associated with each stage, the emphasis on delayed gratification, or excessive emphasis on self-actualization may impact a person's development but do not necessarily lead to fixations.
