Trust .vs. .Mistrust .(stage .1) .0-1 .- .correct .answer. . . . .During .infancy .(0-1) .the .child .is
.dependent .on .mother .for .food .and .care. .As .the .child .incorporates .or .takes .in .through
.sucking .and .swallowing; .there .is .a .receptivity .to .what .is .being .offered. .The .mother .is
,.responsible .for .coordinating .the .child's .experience .of .getting .and .hers .of .giving. .At .the
.latter .part .of .this .stage .the .child's .eyes .begin .to .focus .and .incorporation .becomes .more
.active .as .the .child .bites .to ."hold .onto" .things. .If .the .mother .provides .a .predictable
.environment .in .which .the .child's .needs .are .met, .a .sense .of .basic .trust .will .develop. .This
.sense .of .trust .implies .not .only .sameness .and .continuity .from .the .caretaker, .but .also .self-
trust .in .one's .capacity .to .cope .with .urges. .According .to .Erickson, .it .is .the .quality .rather
.than .the .quantity .of .maternal .care .that .is .critical .at .this .stage. .Successful .resolution .will
.lead .to .a .lasting .ego .quality .of .hope, .an .enduring .belief .that .wishes .can .be .fulfilled.
.Unsuccessful .resolution .will .lead .to .a .sense .of .mistrust .in .other .people .and .the
.environment.
Autonomy .vs. .Shame .and .Doubt .(stage .2) .2-3 .- .correct .answer. . . . .During .early .childhood
.(2-3) .the .child .learns .a .sense .of .autonomy .through .retention .and .elimination .of .urine .and
.feces. .As .the .child's .muscles .mature .to .the .point .that .bodily .wastes .can .be .retained .or
.expelled .at .will, .the .child .experiments .with .two .simultaneous .social .modalities ."holding
.on" .and ."letting .go." .Parents .must .be .firm .and .tolerant .so .that .the .child .can .gradually
.learn .bowel .and .bladder .control .and .a ."sense .of .self-control .without .loss .of .self .esteem."
.From .this .emerges .a .sense .of .autonomy .and .pride, .and .the .lasting .ego .quality .of .WILL
.POWER, .the .determination .to .use .free .choice .and .self-restraint. .Unsuccessful .resolution
.of .this .stage .will .lead .to .lifelong .feelings .of .shame .and .doubt.
Initiative .vs. .Guilt .(stage .3) .3-5 .- .correct .answer. . . . .During .the .play .age .(3-5), .increased
.locomotor .mastery .(walking .and .running) .gives .the .child .a .wider .radius .of .goals. .In
.addition, .language .skills .add .to .the .ability .to .imagine ."so .many .things .he .cannot .avoid
.frightening .himself .with .what .he .himself .has .created .and .thought .up." .The .Oedipal
.wishes .and .the .ambivalent .feelings .that .accompany .them .must .be .repressed .in .order .to
.temporarily .mask .the .initiative .toward .the .opposite .sex .parent. .While .this .initiative .is .a
.prerequisite .for .masculine .and .feminine .behaviors .later .in .life, .it .is .now .repressed .of
.necessity-in .order .to .avoid .the .guilt .that .would .accompany .knowledge .of .incestuous
.thoughts. .Parents .assist .the .child .in .learning .appropriate .roles, .including .gender .roles, .as
.the .child .diverts .the .sexual .drive .into .acceptable .activities. .At .this .point .conscience, .or
.superego, .becomes .established .to .govern .the .initiative. .Proper .resolution .of .this .stage
.leads .to .a .lasting .ego .quality .of .purpose, .the .courage .to .pursue .goals. .Unsuccessful
.resolution .leads .to .feeling .of .shame.
Industry .vs. .Inferiority .(stage .4) .6-12 .- .correct .answer. . . . .The .child .now .enters .the .school
.age .(6-12) .and .is .enmeshed .in .the ."world" .of .school .and .opportunities .for .new .types .of
.mastery. .As .children .develop .their .abilities .in .new .skills .and .tasks, .they .desire .recognition
.gained .from .producing .things. .Through .this, .they .develop .a .sense .of .industry .and .a
.lasting .ego .quality .of .competence. .Unsuccessful .resolution .of .this .stage .leads .to .life .long
.feelings .of .inferiority .and .inadequacy.
Identity .vs. .Role .Confusion .(stage .5) .12-18 .- .correct .answer. . . . .As .the .child .approaches
.adolescence .(12-18 .or .so), .physical .and .hormonal .changes .mark .the .beginning .of
.puberty. .Rapid .growth .and .physical .genital .maturity .disrupt .the .earlier .continuity .of
.childhood. .This .stage .is .perhaps .the .most .important .for .Erikson, .as .the .adolescent .must
,.now .forge .a .lasting .ego .identity .through .aligning .his .or .her .basic .dries, .endowments, .and
.opportunities. .A .sense .of .ego .identity .is ."the .accrued .confidence .that .ones .ability .to
.maintain .inner .sameness .and .continuity...is .matched .by .the .sameness .and .continuity .of
.ones .meaning .for .others. .Thus, .self-esteem .grows .to .be .a .conviction .that .one .is .learning
.effective .steps .toward .a .tangible .future, .that .one .is .developing .a .defined .personality
.within .a .social .reality .which .one .understands. .As .the .adolescent .struggles .to .integrate
.past .and .future .views .of .self .and .begins .to .define .new .appropriate .sex .roles, .an .identity
.crisis .may .emerge .from .this .confusion. .New .expectations .from .parents .may .add .to .this
.stress. .Tolerance, .understanding, .and .guidance .in .the .home .can .assist .the .adolescent .in
.achieving .an .integrated .identity. .Unsuccessful .resolution .can .result .in .either .role
.confusion .or .identity .diffusion, .a .state .in .which .the .individual .is .left .with .strong .doubts
.about .who .he .or .she ."is." .This .may .lead .to .delinquency, .psychotic .incidents, .or .over-
identification .with .others. .Youths .who .emerge .with .a .strong .sense .of .identity .and
.individuality .gain .a .lasting .ego .quality .of .fidelity .or .freely .pledges .loyalties.
Intimacy .vs. .Isolation .(stage .6) .(early .to .late .20s) .- .correct .answer. . . . .Young .adulthood
.(early .to .late .20s) .brings .an .end .to .the .years .of .childhood .and .youth. .It .is .now .time .for
.choosing .a .career, .socializing .with .the .opposite .sex, .and .eventually .marriage .and .raising
.a .family. .Interpersonal .intimacy .is .the .task .of .this .stage, .encompassing .both
.psychological .and .sexual .intimacy. .Failure .to .achieve .intimacy .leads .to .isolation, .an
.inability .to .develop .intimate .and .meaningful .relationship. .The .person .who .cannot .be
.intimate .will .likely .be .self-absorbed. .Proper .resolution .of .this .stage .leads .to .a .lasting .ego
.quality .of .love, .or .mutuality .of .devotion.
Generativity .vs. .Stagnation .(stage .7) .(late .20s-50s) .- .correct .answer. . . . .During .adulthood
.(last .20s-50s), .maturity .geniality .(in .the .Freudian .sense) .leads .to .procreation .and
.establishing .guidance .for .the .next .generation. .those .who .do .not .apply .this .to .their .own
.offspring .must .sublimate .and .find .outlets .in .altruistic .activities. .According .to .Erikson,
.simply .wanting .or .having .children .is .insufficient .for .completion .of .this .stage. .Rather, .an
.active .role .and .a ."belief .in .the .species" .leads .to .efforts .to .make .the .world .a .better .place
.for .future .generations. .Unsuccessful .resolution .of .this .stage .results .in .a .sense .of
.stagnation .or .self-indulgence .that .reflection .interpersonal .impoverishment. .Successful
.resolution .of .this .stage .can .be .seen .in .the .lasting .ego .quality .of .care, .or .concern .for
.others.
Integrity .vs. .Despair .(after .50) .- .correct .answer. . . . .Late .adulthood .(after .50) .is .a .period .of
.retrospective .reflection .about .one's .own .life .and .acceptance .of .the .eventual .end .of .life. .If,
.at .the .end .of .the .life .cycle, .one .can .accept .responsibility .for .past .choices .and .find
.meaning .and .contentment .in .the .road .that .was .traveled, .a .sense .of .integrity .is .achieved.
.Unsuccessful .resolution .of .this .stage .leads .to .a .sense .of .despair. .This .may .be .exhibited
.as .disgust .and .anger .at .external .sources .but .is .an .indication .of .self-contempt. .The .lasting
.ego .quality .that .emerges .from .proper .resolution .of .this .stage .is .wisdom.
