Need to experience frustration, so it is best to allow an infant to
cry for a while before meeting his or her needs
Rationale: According to Erikson’s theory of psychosocial
development, infants struggle to establish a sense of basic
trust rather than a sense of basic mistrust in their world,
their caregivers, and themselves. If provided with
consistent satisfying experiences that are delivered in a
timely manner, infants come to rely on the fact that their
needs are met and that, in turn, they will be able to
tolerate some degree of frustration and discomfort until
those needs are met. This sense of confidence is an early
form of trust and provides the foundation for a healthy
personality. Therefore the other options are incorrect.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination.
Eliminate the option that contains the closed-ended word
“must.” Eliminate the comparable or alike options and
indicate that experiencing frustration is necessary. Review
Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development as it relates
to the infant if you had difficulty with this question.
