Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Erikson believed that the ego must incorporate both maladaptive as well as adaptive ways of coping. Ideally, at every stage of development the ego will consist primarily of the positive or adaptive attitude but will be balanced by some portion of the negative attitude.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Each developmental stage has its particular crisis or turning point that necessitates some change in our behavior and personality. We may respond to the crisis in one of two ways: a maladaptive way or an adaptive way. Only when we have resolved each conflict can the personality continue its normal developmental sequence and acquire the strength to confront the next stage's crisis. If the conflict at any stage remains unresolved, we are less likely to be able to adapt to later problems.
