Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages of development are based on

  1. Cognitive and physical development

  2. The individual's life experience

  3. Learning and personal growth

  4. Social and cultural influences

The correct answer is: Social and cultural influences

Erikson's psychosocial stages of development are based on the idea that individuals go through various stages of development throughout their lives, each with its own unique psychological and social challenges. These stages are heavily influenced by the social and cultural context in which the individual is raised. Options A, B, and C may have some impact on an individual's development, but they are not the main focus of Erikson's theory. Additionally, these options do not fully capture the complex interplay between an individual's internal and external factors that Erikson emphasizes in his theory.
