The impact of child-rearing practices on personality development was heavily emphasized by Sigmund Freud. His theory of psychosexual development, a core concept within the psychodynamic approach, highlights how early childhood experiences significantly shape personality and behavior in adulthood.
Freud proposed that personality develops through distinct stages during childhood, where specific experiences and resolutions of conflicts in each stage influence later personality. For example, he believed that the resolution of the Oedipus complex (or Electra complex in girls) during the phallic stage significantly affects later personality traits.
