Study Notes
Erikson's Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development
- This theory describes how individuals develop socially and emotionally over eight stages across their lifespan.
- Each stage involves a crisis that must be resolved for healthy development.
Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year)
- Crisis: Infants learn whether they can trust the world to meet their basic needs.
- Example: Consistent caregiver response leads to trust; inconsistent response leads to mistrust.
Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years)
- Crisis: Toddlers learn to do things for themselves or doubt their abilities.
- Example: Encouragement leads to independence; criticism leads to shame and doubt.
Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)
- Crisis: Children learn to initiate activities or feel guilty about their efforts to be independent.
- Example: Free play and exploration fosters initiative; punishment or criticism fosters guilt.
Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years)
- Crisis: Children develop a sense of competence or feel inferior.
- Example: Encouragement in school leads to industry; comparison or discouragement leads to inferiority.
Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years)
- Crisis: Adolescents explore their identity and develop a sense of self or become confused about their role.
- Example: Exploration and self-expression leads to strong identity; lack of support can lead to role confusion.
Intimacy vs. Isolation (18-40 years)
- Crisis: Young adults form close relationships or feel socially isolated.
- Example: Forming deep relationships fosters intimacy; difficulty connecting with others leads to isolation.
Generativity vs. Stagnation (40-65 years)
- Crisis: Adults feel a sense of contribution or a lack of purpose.
- Example: Contributing to society (e.g., raising children, mentoring) leads to generativity; lack of contribution leads to stagnation.
Integrity vs. Despair (65+ years)
- Crisis: Older adults reflect on their life and feel satisfaction or regret.
- Example: Feeling fulfilled with life leads to integrity; regrets lead to despair.
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- Schemas: Mental frameworks used to organize and interpret information.
- Assimilation: Fitting new information into existing schemas.
- Accommodation: Altering or creating new schemas to fit new information.
Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years)
- Focus: Learning through senses and actions.
- Example: Exploring toys by putting them in the mouth or shaking them.
- Object permanence: Understanding objects continue to exist even when unseen.
Preoperational Stage (2-7 years)
- Focus: Symbolic thinking and imagination.
- Egocentrism: Inability to see things from others' perspectives.
- Conservation: Understanding that amount stays the same despite changes in appearance
Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years)
- Focus: Logical thinking about concrete objects.
- Example: Solving puzzles, understanding math problems based on physical objects.
- Conservation: Understanding amount remains constant despite changes.
Formal Operational Stage (12+ years)
- Focus: Abstract thinking and problem-solving.
- Example: Understanding hypothetical scenarios and solving complex problems (e.g., algebra).
- Abstract thinking: Ability to think about complex ideas and solve problems without needing concrete examples.
