Industry vs Inferiority is the stage of psychological development that is typically experienced between 5-13 years of age and consists of comparing themselves to others. Being bullied places the child at risk for failure to achieve this task and progress to the next developmental stage. A 52-year-old is likely in the Generatively vs. Stagnation stage. A 1-year-old is likely in the Trust vs. Mistrust stage. A 3-year-old is likely in the Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt stage. Gender and life circumstances do not significantly influence the psychological developmental stage, but their development stage may affect the perception and response of the life circumstances.
