Industry versus Inferiority refers to a conflict in middle childhood centered around lack of support for industrious behavior, which can result in feelings of inferiority. It is the fourth stage of psychosocial development in Erikson's theory, occurring in middle childhood. Mastery of tasks leads to a sense of industry, whereas failure produces feelings of inferiority.
