Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: During the muscular-anal stage at the second and third years of life, corresponding to Freud's anal stage, children rapidly develop a variety of physical and mental abilities and are able to do many things for themselves. Of all these abilities, Erikson believed the most important involved holding on and letting go. When parents frustrate their child's attempt to exercise independence, the child develops feelings of self-doubt and a sense of shame in dealing with others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
