Question

Manuel is taking a computer class at school. He really seems to take a great deal of pride in his skills. He works hard at them and believes that he is good at them. Manuel is most likely in Erikson’s stage of ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 4. Industry vs. Inferiority

Explanation:

According to Erikson, this stage occurs around the age of five an twelve. Children at this point are learning to be autonomous, and school begins to be an important part of their development. Children feel the need to win approval of their peers by demonstrating certain skills, and will feel proud about them when recognised.

The other side of the coin is that children might feel inferior when these activities are discouraged by their parents or teachers.
