Toilet training occurs in the anal stage of Freud's psychosexual development. This is equivalent to Erikson's:

  • A. Trust vs. Mistrust
  • B. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
  • C. Initiative vs. Guilt
  • D. Industry vs. Inferiority
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Trust vs. Mistrust. In Freud's psychosexual development theory, the anal stage is where toilet training occurs, focusing on issues of control and independence. This stage is parallel to Erikson's Trust vs. Mistrust stage, where infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers based on the consistency of care they receive. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they correspond to different stages in Erikson's psychosocial development theory, not related to toilet training or the anal stage of Freud's theory.
