Study Notes
Overview of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development
- Personality develops through eight predetermined stages from infancy to adulthood.
- Each stage involves a psychosocial crisis impacting personality development with potential positive or negative outcomes.
- Successful resolution of crises leads to healthy personality traits called basic virtues.
- Failure to resolve stages can hinder future success and lead to negative self-perception, though stages can be resolved later.
Trust vs. Mistrust
- Stage spans from birth to approximately 18 months.
- Infants rely on caregivers for stability and consistency; consistent care fosters trust, while inconsistent care breeds mistrust.
- Successful resolution results in the virtue of hope, while failure leads to fear and anxiety.
Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
- Occurs between 18 months and 3 years, focusing on personal control over skills and independence.
- Encouragement fosters confidence and the virtue of will; criticism can lead to feelings of inadequacy and shame.
- Children explore abilities like dressing and decision-making, asserting independence.
Initiative vs. Guilt
- The third stage occurs during early childhood, marked by increased assertiveness and interaction with peers.
- Successful initiative results in the virtue of purpose; excessive criticism can instill guilt, inhibiting creativity.
- Children seek to plan activities and initiate interactions; a balance between encouragement and boundaries is crucial.
Industry vs. Inferiority
- Takes place between ages 5 and 12; focuses on learning skills like reading and writing.
- Peer approval becomes significant, influencing self-esteem; success leads to the virtue of competence.
- Lack of encouragement can result in feelings of inferiority and hinder skill development; modesty must be balanced with competence.
Identity vs. Role Confusion
- Occurs during adolescence (ages 12-18); involves searching for personal identity and values.
- Success helps form a stable sense of self and the virtue of fidelity; failure can result in identity confusion and experimentation with different lifestyles.
- A transitional phase where individuals develop their sexual and occupational identities.
Intimacy vs. Isolation
- This stage occurs during young adulthood (ages 18-40), focusing on forming intimate relationships.
- Successful engagement leads to fulfilling, committed relationships and the virtue of love; avoidance of intimacy can result in isolation and depression.
Generativity vs. Stagnation
- Takes place during middle adulthood (ages 40-65); emphasizes "making a mark" on the world through nurturing or creating lasting contributions.
- Involvement in community activities and raising children fosters a sense of purpose and usefulness.
- Success leads to feelings of accomplishment; stagnation results from shallow engagement with the world.
