Abstract
Objective: To investigate factors associated with the psychosocial development of children aged 6–12 years, based on Erikson’s theory, in Kupang City.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study involved 165 participants selected through purposive sampling. The study variables included parental role, environmental role, and psychosocial development (industry vs inferiority) of children aged 6–12 years. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test with a significance level of α=0.05.
Results: Parental role (p=0.009) and environmental support (p=0.004) were significantly associated with psychosocial development. Parental involvement and the school environment significantly influenced the psychosocial development (industry versus inferiority) of children aged 6–12 years.
Conclusion: Parental roles and environmental factors are strongly associated with the psychosocial development of school-aged children in the industry versus inferiority stage. Strengthening parental involvement and creating a supportive school environment are essential for achieving optimal psychosocial development.

Key words: Psychosocial development, parental role, environmental role, Erikson’s Theory, school-aged children.
