Industry vs. Inferiority (Erik Erikson, 1960s) – the fourth stage of Psychosocial Development Theory, spanning approximately ages 6 years to 12 years, during which the child should develop a sense of pride in skills and achievements relative to other children. If one is unsuccessful during this stage, one may be left with senses of incompetence and inferiority.
