Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Third graders are in Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage. Focusing on the end result of achievements, the school-aged child gains pleasure from finishing projects and receiving recognition for accomplishments. Concrete operational is Piaget's theory for school-aged children. Latency is Freud's theory. Acceptance of a deity is a developmental theory belonging to Fowler.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Trying on roles and even rebellion are considered normal behaviors as the adolescent acquires a sense of self and decides what direction will be taken in life. Role confusion occurs when the adolescent is unable to establish identity and a sense of direction. The other choices are different stages of Erikson's theory.
