Study Notes

Erikson's Psychosocial Stages

  • Erikson proposed eight stages of psychosocial development, each with a core conflict
  • Successful resolution leads to development of virtues and psychological strengths.

Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth to 1.5 years)

  • Infants develop trust from consistent satisfaction of basic needs
  • Mistrust arises from inconsistent care.

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1.5 to 3 years)

  • Toddlers strive for personal control and independence
  • Excessive restraint or criticism can foster shame and doubt

Initiative vs. Guilt (3 to 6 years)

  • Children assert power through play and social interactions
  • Discouragement leads to feelings of guilt

Industry vs. Inferiority (6 years to puberty)

  • Competence develops from successes in school and social settings
  • Repeated failures can cause feelings of inferiority

Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence)

  • Teens explore roles and beliefs to form their identity
  • Lack of exploration results in confusion

Intimacy vs. Isolation (Early Adulthood)

  • Young adults seek meaningful relationships.
  • Failure to establish relationships leads to isolation

Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle Adulthood)

  • Contributing to society and future generations fosters generativity.
  • Lack of contribution results in stagnation.

Integrity vs. Despair (Late Adulthood)

  • Reflection on life's experiences leads to feelings of fulfillment or regret
  • This concludes the stages

Piaget's Cognitive Development Stages

  • Piaget outlined four stages of cognitive development detailing how children's thinking evolves

Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 years)

  • Infants understand the world through senses and actions.
  • Object permanence develops during this stage

Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years)

  • Symbolic play and symbol manipulation are characteristic
