Explanation & Rationale
A. Trust vs. mistrust: Infants develop trust when caregivers consistently meet needs for food, comfort, and affection; inconsistent care leads to mistrust. B. Autonomy vs. shame and doubt: Toddlers gain independence through activities such as feeding and dressing; overprotection or criticism can cause shame and doubt. C. Initiative vs. guilt: Preschoolers assert initiative through exploration and play; excessive restriction or criticism may result in guilt. D. Identity vs. role confusion: Adolescents explore personal values, beliefs, and goals; failure to establish a coherent sense of self leads to role confusion. E. Industry vs. inferiority: School-age children focus on mastering skills and achieving goals; lack of support or repeated failure can lead to feelings of inferiority.
