Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Freud, the superego emerges during the phallic stage (around ages 3-6) as children begin to internalize the moral and ethical values of their same-sex parent and identify with their gender. During this stage, children also experience intense sexual desires and conflicts, particularly around the Oedipus and Electra complexes. It is through resolving these conflicts that the superego - the internalized sense of right and wrong - begins to develop.
