Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trust versus mistrust is the conflict that takes place during the first stage of Erikson's psychosocial development theory, which occurs from birth to around 18 months. In this stage, infants like Bart learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers based on whether their needs are consistently met. By responding to Bart's needs with food, comfort, and care, Bart's mother is helping him develop a sense of trust and security in the world.
