PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ERICK ERICKSON - In every stage of life, people experience several conflicts. - If too much positivity is developed (or an environment is too positive.) is not good. The person will develop maladaptation. - Maladaptation - positivity is greater than negativity. ( + > - ) the child can no longer adapt to the environment. - Malignancy - negativity is greater than positivity. ( - > + ) the child will develop malignant qualities. - Virtue - balanced negativity and positivity. (+ = - ) the child will develop virtue. STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT BIRTH TO 18 MONTHS - During birth to 18 months, the basic conflict that the child experiences is Trust vs. Mistrust. (A question whether the child will learn to trust or not to trust a person.) - Trust - is developed through oral (just like Freud’s theory) positivity shown in feeding, touch, and warmth of the mother, thus will develop trust. - If too much feeding and presence, the child will develop a maladaptive tendency called Sensory maladjustment. - Sensory maladjustment - the child becomes too trusty, gullible, believes that no people will harm him/her. - If too much mistrust is developed, then the child will develop withdrawal. - Withdrawal - the child believes that the world is unsafe, and as a result, he/she will not socialize with others. The child will withdraw physically. - If balanced trust and mistrust, the child will develop a virtue called hope. - Hope - in a sense that the child will believe that there are times that the environment is not that good but there is a hope that something positive will happen. 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD - A conflict between autonomy or shame and doubt. - Autonomy - will develop if your parents ALLOW you to do the things on your own. Ex.: the child asserts his/her strength in walking and the parents allow it. - If too much autonomy, the child will become impulsive. - Shame and doubt - will be developed if the child is DISALLOWED to do the things he/she wants to do. - If too much shame and doubt, the child will become compulsive. - Balanced autonomy + shame and doubt = will - Will - the child can act with the intention but the child knows that he/she has a limitation. 3 TO 5 YEARS OLD - A conflict between initiative and guilt. - Initiative - if the parents ENCOURAGE the child to do things, this will be developed. - If too much encouragement, the child becomes a ruthless person. - Ruthless - a person with no mercy. They don’t care who they step on as long as they get what they want. - Guilt - if the child is DISCOURAGE to do things on his/her own, this will be developed. - If too much discouragement, the child develops inhibition. - Inhibition - the child no longer acts. The child will cage himself in a box. - If balanced encouragement and discouragement, the child will develop a sense of purpose. - Sense of purpose - there is willingness to work but will consider his own limitations and competency. 6-11 YEARS OLD - A conflict between industry and inferiority. - Take note that the child is in school at this stage. The center is the relationship between the teacher and the student. The teacher’s words weigh more than the parent’s words. - Praise from the teacher is important. - If too much praise, the child will develop virtuosity. - Virtuosity/virtuous - you will only excel in the area you are praised. - If not praised, embarrassed by the teacher, the child will develop an extreme inferiority complex called inertia. - Balanced = competence. - Competence - you know that you can do things but you also know what you cannot do. 12 TO 18 YEARS OLD - A conflict between identity and confusion. - Identity - during adolescence, you explore yourself and answer the question “Who am i?’ - If too much, you will develop a maladaptive tendency called fanaticism. - Fanaticism - you become a fan of yourself. They devolved into too much belief in yourself. - Confusion - you don’t know who you are. As a result, you copy other people or your friends. (Repudiation) - Repudiation - you reject who you are, and you copy other people. - Balanced = Fidelity. - Fidelity - being loyal to yourself. 19 TO 40 YEARS OLD - A conflict between intimacy and isolation. - Intimacy - can be developed through closeness, friendship, or forming an intimate relationship with someone. - Too much development of intimacy - they develop promiscuity. - Promiscuity - being in a relationship without depth. Can change partners from time to time because they become close easily to someone. - Too much isolation - develop exclusion. - Exclusion - there is a great preference of being alone. - Balanced = Love. - Love - Being with yourself and being with others. 40 TO 60 YEARS OLD - A conflict between generativity and stagnation. - Generativity - being generous. - If too generous - develop over extension - Extension - you give too much to the point nothing is left for you. - Overextension - Over (sobra-sobra) Ex.; you don’t rest, too much productivity. - Stagnant - you are not sharing, caring, giving or not being productive. - If too much stagnation, you will develop a maladaptive tendency called rejectivity. - Rejectivity - rejecting work, people, fun, everything. - Balanced = care. - Care - not everything should be helped. Ex.; Do not give people fish but rather teach them how to fish. 65 YEARS OLD TO DEATH - A conflict between Integrity and despair. - Integrity - the feeling that you already contributed to society. Some may develop presumptions. - Presumption - assume that they know everything. Don’t listen to others. - Despair - the feeling that you haven’t done anything. You will develop disdain. - Disdain - matatandang galit sa mundo. - Balanced trusting your intellect and other people = wisdom.
