Erik Erikson’s Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development
- Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year): Infants develop trust when caregivers meet their needs consistently; failure to do so leads to feelings of mistrust.
- Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years): Toddlers establish a sense of independence; inability to do so may cause shame and self-doubt.
- Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years): Children assert their power and control; excessive guilt can arise if their initiatives or explorations are restricted.
- Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years): Success in academic and social environments fosters a sense of competence; failure can result in feelings of inferiority.
- Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years): Adolescents explore various roles to form their identity; struggles in this phase may lead to confusion about their place in the world.
- Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood): Young adults seek intimate relationships; failure to connect deeply can result in a sense of isolation.
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood): Adults aim to contribute to society and guide the next generation, fostering purpose; stagnation occurs when they feel unproductive or disconnected.
- Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood): Reflecting on their lives, individuals experience integrity if they feel fulfilled; those with regrets may experience despair.
