Flashcards
Trust vs. Mistrust
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
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
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.
