Identify and explain which of Erikson's eight psychosocial stages is present in the scenario below. Cameron is a fourth-grader at Sunnyside Elementary School. She just received her math test back, and she got a B. She notices her friend Rachel got an A, and it makes Cameron feel like she is not as smart as her friend.

The stage of psychological development as put forward by Erik Erikson which is exemplified in the scenario given is : Stage 4 - Industry vs. Inferiority.

Explanation:

This stage often kicks in around ages five and twelve.

The tension going on in Cameron's mind is one that reads: I"f I don't match or exceed the competence of my peers, I am inferior."

Put in other words: "since my friend scored an "A" and I a "B" in the Maths test, it means she is superior to me."

Notice that there is a very strong comparison between her grades and those of her peer/friend. The child who is in this stage will demonstrate the need to win approval by showing that they can perform well in a particular activity, task and or assignment. This stage also features

It is important to encourage those at this stage for their initiative. Children will achieve their highest potential if at this stage of their life they feel that they are worthy and most of all capable. This healthy sense of respect in one's ability comes as teachers and parents appreciate the children and reinforce positive abilities with praise and encouragement.
