Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson, each psychosocial stage is characterized by a conflict that must be resolved for healthy development. When an individual successfully resolves the conflict, they develop a specific virtue that contributes to their overall sense of self and ability to navigate future challenges. For example, in the first stage (trust vs. mistrust), the virtue that develops is hope, while in the second stage (autonomy vs. shame and doubt), the virtue is willpower.
