Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erikson describes the second stage of psychosocial development (ages 1-3) as the stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt. During this stage, children start to develop a sense of independence and control over their own actions. However, they may also experience doubt and uncertainty about whether they are capable of doing things on their own. This can lead to a feeling of not being certain and that something remains hidden, which is the characteristic of doubt.
