Psychosocial theory emphasises on which of the following?

Options

A. Stimuli and Response
B. Phallic and Latency stages
C. Industry versus Inferiority stage
D. Operant Conditioning

Answer

B

Explanation

Industry versus inferiority is the fourth stage of Erik Erikson.s theory of psychological development. The stage occurs during childhood between the ages of five and twelve. It is at this stage when children are encouraged and reinforced for their initiative, they begin to feel industrious and feel confident in their ability to achieve goals. If this initiative is not encouraged, if it is restricted by parents and teacher, then the child begins to feel inferior, doubting his own abilities and therefore may not reach his or her potential.
