Answer 1

Answer:

Oral

Explanation:

In the psychoanalytic perspective, Oral stage of development takes place between 0-18 months old. During this stage, the child's main focus of rewards comes from the mouth (nursing).

When the child didn't get the adequate amount of attention in this age, either by lack of feeding or by being overfed, an oral fixation would appear.

An individual who is fixated in this age is usually a dependant person who is seeking for the approval of others, these individuals also tend to be dependant of others, looking for these other people to fulfill their needs. In a few words, individuals have a very important need of affection.

In this example Byron is always looking to others for advice, approval and affection. Therefore, we can say that he is fixated at the oral stage
