Question

Who propounded the theory of psycho-sexual development?

• A. Eysenck
• B. Freud
• C. Jung
• D. Allport

Hint:

“Stages with libido focus” $\rightarrow$ Freud; traits (Allport/Eysenck) and archetypes (Jung) are different frameworks.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Define the doctrine. Freud’s {psychosexual development} explains personality through stages in which the libido focuses on different erogenous zones—oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital.
Step 2: Explain why it is uniquely Freudian. The ideas of {fixation}, {Oedipus/Electra conflicts}, and the role of early experiences in shaping later traits are signature Freudian propositions, not found as stage theories in Eysenck, Jung, or Allport.
Step 3: Eliminate distractors. Eysenck proposed biologically based trait dimensions; Jung advanced analytical psychology (archetypes); Allport stressed cardinal/central/secondary traits—none propounded a psychosexual sequence.
Step 4: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Sigmund Freud (Option B).}} \]
