Edwin was a neglected child in his infancy. now, at 31 years of age, he is highly cynical about the world and feels that no one can be relied upon. whenever he is in a relationship with a woman, he has tremendous feelings of suspicion toward his partner, and these feelings eventually lead to the breakup of the relationship. according to erikson's psychosocial theory, this is a good indication that edwin did not successfully resolve the stage of development, which in turn is causing him to experience in his current developmental stage. select one: a. trust versus mistrust; despairb. identity versus identity confusion; stagnationc. autonomy versus shame and doubt; confusiond. trust versus mistrust; isolation

D. trust versus mistrust; isolation                                                      

Explanation:

Trust versus mistrust: This is the first stage in the theory of psychosocial development given by Erik Erikson. This stage starts with the birth of a child and lasts through one year of age.

During this stage, a child develops to learn trust in his or her caregivers or parents by receiving reliable, predictable, and consistent sense of support from them.

According to Erikson, if the child's need didn't get fulfilled then he might develop a sense of mistrust on his or her caregivers that can cause a problem in later stages.

In the question above, Edwin did not successfully resolve the trust versus mistrust stage of development, that makes him feel isolation in his current developmental stage.

the correct answer is individualism and exchange. at this stage, children begin to question the rules, because they can see that there is more than one side to them. different individuals have different viewpoints. they won't be able to reach this stage because of ignorance, a lack of ethics or personal biases. that is because people with that characteristiscs are not able to distinguish what is good or what is bad and they can't pursue their individual interests.
