The "autonomy versus guilt and shame" stage is the second stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, focusing on children's ability to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence. Successfully resolving this conflict leads to the virtue of will, which is the belief that children can act with intention, within reason and limits.
