Samuel is beginning to realize that he has a talent for art,and he feels good about it. Which of Erikson's stages may he reached?

A.Autonomy vs.shame
B.Initiative vs. guilt
C. Industry vs. inferiority
D. Identity vs. confusion

I pick the letter D can someone check my answer.

D sounds eight to me.

Okay so that means that I need to rethink this one.

It seems more like C to me. To support this, I searched Google under the key words "Erikson stages" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

Thanks that help a lot.

To determine the correct answer, we can refer to Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages of development. In this case, Samuel is beginning to realize his talent for art and feels good about it.

The stage of development that corresponds to this situation is the Identity vs. Confusion stage. During adolescence, individuals explore their personal identities, including their talents, interests, and values. They experiment with different roles and experiences to establish a sense of self and develop a consistent identity. Samuel's recognition of his talent and positive feelings about it align with this stage.

So, the correct answer is indeed D. Identity vs. confusion.
