Use Erik Erikson's theory to account for the behavior of the following young people:

1. Nancy sits in her room all day, never desiring to go out and play with other kids her age. This pattern of behavior continues in her life. Her parents and others notice that she just cannot find that "get up and go" that others seem to display. Moreover, she tends to shy away from social interactions because she always feels like she "rains on everyone's parade." She takes the blame and feels bad for all kinds of things even though everyone else seems to think that Nancy is a very nice person.

 2. Bob is very conscientious and exacting. He is extremely concerned with what others think of him, yet he has a very hard time making friends and keeping them because things always have to be "his way or the highway." Moreover, he is very unsure of himself in all kinds of situations. Instead of just being himself and letting go, Bob tends to drive people away due to his incessant need to control, control, and control...

3. Betty goes along with the crowd. She always does this because she cannot tolerate the risks involved with making decisions for herself and sticking by them. She is going to college because her parents want her to. She is getting married because her boyfriend wants to. Sometimes she seems to have made a commitment but tends to be unreliable in that way.
