From Erikson's perspective, she will resolve her first crisis in favor of:

A) mistrust.
B) trust.
C) autonomy.
D) industry.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) trust.      

Explanation:

In psychology, the term "trust" is being used by Erik Erikson in his psychosocial development. It is being used in the first stage of the theory named "trust versus mistrust".

According to Erikson, if a child's need is being fulfilled, and he or she receives the care and love which is therefore reliable, consistent, and persistent then the child will gain or develop a "sense of trust" on his or her caregivers or parents that will further help the child to gain insight for another relationship as well and feels secure if threatened.

In the question above, the given statement states that Jessica will resolve the first crisis of trust.
