According to Erikson's psychosocial theory, what is the fourth stage of Psychosocial Development?

  1. Ego-Integrity vs. Despair

  2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

  3. Intimacy vs. Isolation

  4. Industry vs. Inferiority

The correct answer is: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

The fourth stage of Erikson's psychosocial theory is Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, not Ego-Integrity vs. Despair, Intimacy vs. Isolation, or Industry vs. Inferiority. The fourth stage is considered the toddler stage, where children begin to assert their independence and develop their own identities. Ego-Integrity vs. Despair is the final stage in late adulthood, Intimacy vs. Isolation is the sixth stage in early adulthood, and Industry vs. Inferiority is the fourth stage in middle childhood. These options do not align with the developmental stage described in the question.
