Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Megan is in the stage of "Initiative vs. Guilt." At this stage, children are learning to assert their power and control over the world through directing play and other social interactions. If Megan's parents restrict her play and discourage her questioning, she is more likely to develop feelings of guilt about her needs and desires.
