Karina, a six-month-old baby, has parents that do not pay attention to her when she cries. She doesn’t have her diaper changed on a regular basis. They don’t interact with her and could be considered neglectful parents. According to Erikson, what is Karina most likely going to develop?
Since Karina is so young, she will develop a sense of trust in the world, but not be trusting of her parents.
Karina will develop a sense of mistrust toward the world and interpersonal relationships.
Karina will develop autonomy because she will need to “fend for herself” in the world.
Karina will develop a difficult temperamental style of responding to the world that can change in adolescence.
