Summary Introduction

Introduction

Sigmund Freud, who founded psychoanalysis, formed his five stages of psychosexual development. Each of these stages are posited to happen at a certain age, consist of a specific focus, and be resolved by a major feature of development. If all the stages are completed successfully, the individual would be both sexually mature and mentally healthy.

Explanation of Solution

Correct answer and explanation

The best answer is (B), in which, according to Freud, Marisa would be in the oral stage of development. According to Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the stages occur as follows: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages. The oral stage occurs between birth and 18 months of age and entails actions such as biting, chewing, and sucking. The anal stage occurs between 18 months and 3 years of age and entails bowel and bladder elimination. The phallic stage occurs between 3-6 years of age and entails coping with incestuous sexual feelings. The latency stage occurs between 6 years of age and puberty and entails sexual feelings being dormant. And the genital stage starts at 12+ years of age and involves the maturation of sexual interest. Thus, Marisa is in the oral stage of development.

Explanation for incorrect statements

Option (A) refers to the anal stage of development. However, the anal stage occurs between 18 months and 3 years of age and entails actions such as bowel and bladder elimination. So, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (C) refers to the phallic stage of development. However, the phallic stage occurs between 3-6 years of age and entails coping with incestuous sexual feelings. So, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (D) refers to the latency stage of development. However, the latency stage occurs between 6 years of age and puberty and entails the dormancy of sexual feelings. So, option (d) is incorrect.

Therefore, the options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

For today's discussion, I'd like you to take a look at Burch, Burch & Batchelor (2019), which is one of the assigned readings for the week. They discuss group creative process and personality. It's interesting because we have already engaged with personality and creative process in the context of creativity. I'm curious to see any differences or similarities you see between what we've already learned about individual personality and creative process versus group creativity. You're welcome to use other sources to articulate this. Try to provide original responses!
dq2 Our lesson overview this week does a great job of touching on how diversity impacts group creativity, particularly in film. Findings show that films that embody diverse identities and experiences - and filmed by those with diverse identities and experiences - tend to resonate more with audiences. Part of the point the overview makes is that safety is important so that group members feel empowered to share their points of view, particularly if they tend to be parts of less privileged groups. It makes a tangible difference!  Coursey et al. (2020) touch on the fact that "when people from different political perspectives share ideas ... they can come up with creative solutions in contrast to the prevailing tendency to extremism in intergroup interactions" (p. 261). Their article also discusses many facets of creativity in groups in online asynchronous learning environments just like this one! I encourage you to read it.  Why am I telling you all this? We have lots of information out…
