Freud's theory talks about how our early childhood experiences shape who we become as adults. He divided this into five stages: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. Each of these stages focuses on different parts of our lives and can lead to certain traits in adults, depending on how well we go through them. Let's break them down:
Oral Stage (0-1 year):
Anal Stage (1-3 years):
Phallic Stage (3-6 years):
Even though Freud's ideas have received some criticism, they highlight how important our early experiences are in shaping our adult personalities. This idea is similar to Erikson’s theory, which also looks at how we grow through different life stages. Overall, these early experiences can impact about 60% of the personality traits we see in people as adults.
