Which stage of Erickson's psychosocial development focuses on creating an identity?

  1. Initiative vs. guilt

  2. Industry vs. inferiority

  3. Autonomy vs. shame

  4. Intimacy vs. isolation

The correct answer is: Industry vs. inferiority

During the stage of industry vs. inferiority, children aged 6-12 are focused on mastering new skills and finding a sense of competence. This stage comes after the stage of initiative vs. guilt, which is focused on exploring and taking initiative. Autonomy vs. shame focuses on developing independence and making choices. Intimacy vs. isolation occurs during young adulthood and is focused on forming intimate relationships. Therefore, out of all these stages, the one that focuses on creating an identity would be industry vs. inferiority.
