Questions: The stages of Mead's taking the role of others theory are: Imitation, play, games

The answer is: Imitation, play, games.

Explanation for each option:

1. Preconventional, conventional, postconventional: These stages are part of Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, not Mead's theory of taking the role of others.

2. Id, ego, superego: These are components of Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche, not stages in Mead's theory.

3. Imitation, play, games: These are the correct stages in George Herbert Mead's theory of the development of the self. According to Mead, children go through these stages as they learn to take the role of others and develop a sense of self. In the imitation stage, children mimic the behavior of others without understanding it. In the play stage, they begin to take on roles of specific people (like playing house). In the game stage, they understand and adhere to the rules of society and the roles of multiple people simultaneously.

4. Preoperational, concrete operational, operational: These stages are part of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, not Mead's theory of taking the role of others.
