Erikson's stage of industry vs. inferiority occurs during middle childhood, typically around ages 6 to 11. During this stage, children are focused on mastering new skills and gaining a sense of competence in their abilities, both in school and in social settings like the playground. These experiences help shape their self-esteem and sense of self-worth, which are important for later stages of development. The other options, identity vs. role confusion (B), integrity vs. despair (C), and autonomy vs. shame and doubt (D), occur in adolescence, late adulthood, and infancy/toddlerhood respectively.
