Questions: Four-year-old Larry squeezes between his Mommy and Daddy as they sit together on the couch. He cuddles with Mommy and pushes Daddy away. This illustrates which Freudian concept? - superego - Oedipus complex - sublimation - regression

The answer is Oedipus complex.

The superego is a part of Freud's structural model of the psyche, which represents the internalized societal and parental standards of behavior. It acts as a moral conscience. The scenario described does not illustrate the superego, as it involves a child's behavior towards parents rather than internalized moral standards.

The Oedipus complex is a Freudian concept that describes a child's feelings of desire for their opposite-sex parent and jealousy and rivalry towards their same-sex parent. In this scenario, Larry's behavior of cuddling with his mother and pushing his father away is indicative of the Oedipus complex, as it shows a preference for the mother and a desire to exclude the father.

Sublimation is a defense mechanism where socially unacceptable impulses are transformed into socially acceptable actions or behavior. The scenario does not involve transforming impulses into acceptable actions, so it does not illustrate sublimation.

Regression is a defense mechanism where an individual reverts to an earlier stage of development in response to stress or conflict. The scenario does not indicate a return to an earlier developmental stage, so it does not illustrate regression.
