Question

Which of erik erikson's psychosocial crises revolves around the child's learning to direct his or her own behavior?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Autonomy v. Doubt.
This is the second stage of Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. It occurs between the ages of 18 months to around age 2 or 3 years. During this stage, children are focused on developing a greater sense of self-control. They start to gain control over eliminative functions and their motor abilities strengthen.

Answer 2

The correct answer is autonomy versus shame and doubt

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, around 18 months- 3 years of age toddlers experience a stage of psychosocial development known as autonomy versus shame and doubt. During this stage of development, toddlers' main task is achieving autonomy- learning to independently direct his or her own behavior. In the autonomy versus shame and doubt stage, children start exercising their independence gradually by picking what clothes they would like to wear, what toys and games they would like to play, etc.
