Study Notes

Erickson's Theory of Psychosocial Development

At each stage of development, an individual deals with a unique conflict or crisis that must be resolved in a healthy manner.
If an individual fails to effectively deal with the conflicts at each stage, they may develop negative personality traits and maladaptive behaviors.
Erickson believed that the desire to resolve these conflicts and achieve a sense of competence motivates behaviors and actions at each stage of development.
When an individual handles a stage well, they develop a positive outcome, such as trust, autonomy, and integrity.
Erickson's theory differs from many others in that it emphasizes the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping development, rather than just focusing on individual biology or psychology.
