Final answer:
According to Erikson, shame and doubt can result if a child does not develop a sense of autonomy.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Erikson, a child who does not develop a sense of autonomy may experience shame and doubt.
During the toddler stage (ages 1-3 years), children work towards establishing independence and resolve the conflict of autonomy versus shame and doubt. When children are able to control their actions and make choices, they develop a sense of autonomy. However, if they are denied the opportunity to act on their environment, they may doubt their abilities and feel ashamed.
