Erikson's Developmental Stages Sequence

Erik Erikson proposed a theory of psychosocial development that outlines eight stages across the lifespan. Understanding the correct sequence is crucial for developmental psychology studies.

The question asks for the correct ordering of specific stages mentioned. Based on Erikson's established timeline, the sequence provided in the correct option accurately reflects the progression:

  • Latency (Industry vs. Inferiority)
