Study Notes
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development
- Erikson's theory includes 8 stages that span from birth to late adulthood.
- Each stage presents a conflict that acts as a turning point in development.
Key Stages
- Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year): Focus on developing trust when caregivers provide reliability and care.
- Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (2-3 years): Example includes a preschooler choosing mismatched clothes, emphasizing the desire for independence.
- Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years): Encouragement of initiative which allows children to explore and take purposeful actions.
- Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years): Children develop a sense of competence through school experiences; struggling can lead to feelings of inferiority.
- Stage 5: Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years): Development of personal identity during puberty, involving the struggle between belonging and individuality.
- Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood): Achieving meaningful relationships while navigating feelings of isolation.
- Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood): Focus on nurturing others and contributing to society; questions of life's worth arise.
- Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood): Reflection on life; achieving a sense of fulfillment leads to wisdom, whereas despair stems from regrets.
