According to Erikson's psychosocial theory, at what age is autonomy usually established?

  1. Early adulthood

  2. Infancy

  3. Preschool years

  4. Adolescence

The correct answer is: Adolescence

According to Erikson's psychosocial theory, autonomy is usually established during adolescence. This stage of development is characterized by the individual's exploration and discovery of their own identity and independence, which is essential for establishing autonomy. Early adulthood, infancy, and the preschool years do not align with Erikson's theory and do not involve the same level of self-discovery and independence as adolescence, making them incorrect options.
