Understand the context of the problem: Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development suggests that unresolved conflicts during any stage can lead to certain psychological outcomes.
Identify the key concept: The term 'fixation' in Freud's theory refers to a persistent focus on an earlier psychosexual stage due to unresolved conflicts.
Consider the options provided: 'fixation', 'anxiety', 'compensation', and 'premature movement'.
Analyze each option: 'Fixation' is directly related to unresolved conflicts in Freud's theory, whereas 'anxiety', 'compensation', and 'premature movement' are not specifically tied to his psychosexual stages.
Conclude that 'fixation' is the most appropriate term that describes the outcome of unresolved conflicts in Freud's psychosexual development stages.
