Question: 1 / 400

What is a key aspect of developing trust during Erikson's first stage of psychosocial development?

Autonomy from caregivers

Consistency of caregiver(s)

Consistency of caregiver(s) is a key aspect of developing trust during Erikson's first stage of psychosocial development because a consistent caregiver who meets the infant's basic needs provides a secure attachment and sense of reliability. This allows the infant to feel secure and develop a sense of trust in their environment. The other options are incorrect because autonomy from caregivers, while important in later stages, is not a key aspect in the first stage. Control over bodily functions and ability to make personal choices are also not key aspects in this stage as an infant is not yet able to fully control their bodily functions or make personal choices.
