Flashcards

Trust vs. Mistrust

The first stage of Erikson's theory focuses on the development of trust. Infants learn to trust their caregivers based on whether their needs are met reliably. If needs are consistently met, infants develop a sense of trust in the world. If needs are not met, infants may develop a sense of mistrust.

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

This stage focuses on the toddler's growing desire for independence. Children learn to do things for themselves (like toilet training) and develop a sense of autonomy. If they are constantly criticized or over-controlled, they may develop shame and doubt in their abilities.

Initiative vs. Guilt

During this stage, children begin to take more initiative in their explorations and play. Encouraging their curiosity and letting them experiment leads to a sense of purpose and confidence. If they are constantly punished or discouraged, they may develop guilt and fear taking risks.

Industry vs. Inferiority

School-aged children focus on developing their sense of competence. Success in school and social activities boosts their self-esteem, leading to industry. Failure or being constantly compared can lead to feelings of inferiority.

Identity vs. Role Confusion

During adolescence, individuals work on figuring out who they are and what their place is in the world. They explore different roles and identities. If they succeed in this exploration, they develop a strong sense of identity. If they struggle, they may experience role confusion.

Generativity vs. Stagnation

Middle-aged adults are concerned with contributing to society and leaving a lasting legacy. Feeling like they are making a difference contributes to a sense of generativity. Failure to find purpose in this stage can lead to feelings of stagnation and lack of accomplishment.

Integrity vs. Despair

In late adulthood, individuals reflect on their lives and attempt to find meaning in their experiences. If they are satisfied with their life, they develop a sense of integrity. If they have regrets or feel like they missed opportunities, they may experience despair.
