Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: It is the social and environmental forces to which we are exposed that control the ways in which the genetically predetermined stages of development are realized. Thus, our personality development is affected by both biological and social factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Erikson divided the growth of the personality into eight psychosocial stages. These were eight successive stages encompassing the life span. At each stage, we must cope with a crisis in either an adaptive or a maladaptive way. In Erikson's theory, human development involves a series of personal conflicts.
