Question

In Erikson's ________________ stage, preschoolers face conflicts between their desire to act independently of their parents and the guilt that comes from the unintended consequences of their actions.

Answer 1

initiative versus guilt

Explanation:

Initiative versus guilt: In psychology, the term initiative versus guilt is considered as the third stage in the theory of psychosocial development consisting of a total of eight stages and was proposed by Erik Erikson.

At this stage, a child tends to assert himself or herself more frequently and the age of the child lies between three to six years. Conflict at this stage leads to develop developmental crisis. Parents by being strict and controlling prevent the child from developing the initiative in the absence of experiencing guild.

In the question above, the question represents the initiative versus guilt stage.
