Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erik Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage occurs during the ages of 6 to 12 years old. During this stage, children begin comparing themselves to their peers, especially those of the same age and gender. They develop a sense of industry as they become more competent in school and social activities or a sense of inferiority as they feel incompetent compared to their peers. Therefore, option B is the correct one. Option A, experimenting with new abilities, is characteristic of Erikson's stage of initiative versus guilt, which occurs during the ages of 3 to 6 years old. Option C, imitating adults, playing adults, and acting as adults, is characteristic of the preoperational stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which occurs during the ages of 2 to 7 years old. Option D, experiencing drastic physical changes, is characteristic of puberty, which usually begins during the ages of 8 to 13 years old.
