Erikson's psychosocial theory of development differed from Freud's ideas of development in that Erikson viewed:
a. children as being controlled by caregivers and society with little room for exploring the environment on their own
b. children as being controlled by the superego and being afraid to displease the caregivers
c. humans as rational creatures with the ego--rather than the id, superego, or conflicts--controlling thoughts, feelings, and actions
d. children as having no sexual interests or conflicts of any kind, with this issue not arising until young adulthood
C
