What is the crisis experienced in Erikson’s fourth stage of psychosocial development? How did Betty resolve this stage? What was the outcome of the crisis? Was it favorable or unfavorable?
What will be an ideal response?
In the fourth stage (school age) Betty faced the crisis of industry versus inferiority. There was a poor resolution of this crisis in that she believed that her skills and physical attractiveness were inferior compared to those of her peers. This is noted in her feeling less smart and less attractive than her classmates in college. This was probably due to her parents being critical of her academic performance in grade school and comparing her to her exceptionally intelligent brother.
