The eight stages are the ones included in the picture attached. By observing stage number 3 it is possible to solve the question proposed: failure to develop autonomy over one's own actions is most closely identified with <u>shame and doubt. </u>

In this period, children discover talents and abilities. Shame or doubt would appear if the child feels incompetent at some point.
