What is Erikson's fourth stage of psychosocial development?

  1. Autonomy vs. Shame

  2. Identity vs. Role Confusion

  3. Intimacy vs. Isolation

  4. Industry vs. Inferiority

The correct answer is: Industry vs. Inferiority

Erikson's fourth stage of psychosocial development is industry vs. inferiority. In this stage, children are developing a sense of competence and self-esteem by learning new skills and facing challenges. Option A, autonomy vs. shame, is the second stage and focuses on toddlers learning to be independent and feeling a sense of shame if they fail. Option B, identity vs. role confusion, is the fifth stage and centers on teenagers developing a sense of self and establishing their identity. Option C, intimacy vs. isolation, is the sixth stage and pertains to young adults forming strong relationships with others. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect answers as they do not align with the correct stage.
