Study Notes

Psychosocial Stages of Development

Erik Erikson's theory proposes that individuals go through eight stages of development, each with a unique psychosocial crisis that must be resolved.

Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year)

  • Development of trust when needs are met consistently
  • Mistrust when needs are neglected or inconsistent

Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years)

  • Development of autonomy when encouraged to explore and make decisions
  • Shame and doubt when overly restricted or criticized

Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)

  • Development of initiative when encouraged to take on tasks and make decisions
  • Guilt when discouraged or punished for taking initiative

Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years)

  • Development of industry when encouraged to develop skills and accomplish tasks
  • Inferiority when unable to meet expectations or feeling incompetent

Stage 5: Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years)

  • Development of identity when exploring roles and interests
  • Role confusion when unsure of identity or feeling pressured to conform

Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation (18-40 years)

  • Development of intimacy when forming close relationships
  • Isolation when unable to form meaningful relationships

Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation (40-65 years)

  • Development of generativity when contributing to society and guiding others
  • Stagnation when feeling unproductive or disconnected from society

Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair (65+ years)

  • Development of integrity when reflecting on life with a sense of accomplishment
  • Despair when feeling regret or disappointment about life choices
