Psychosocial Stages of Development
Erik EriksonSlide2
Psychosocial
Psyco
= psychological
Social = environment
Interaction of both
Reciprocal relationship
Erikson put together 8 stages of development
Stages = crisis to be resolved for that stage of development
If crisis is not resolved the other stages can be effective and the person’s growth can stagnate
Not everyone goes through the stages as quickly as others
Ages are attached to each stage but are not concreteSlide3
1. Trust vs. Mistrust
Child must learn trust by having needs met consistently or they will carry an inner sense of mistrust into future relationships
Basic Needs: food, diaper changes, interaction, bathing, clothes, mental stimulation, protection
You can’t spoil a baby for the 1
st
year of lifeSlide4
2. Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt
Individuation
: Child discovers that Mom and me are separate
They learn to start exercising their own will or they will feel shameful about becoming their own person.
If this stage is resolved they may become a dependent person later on in life
Shape their will but don’t break their will
Unmet needs in some Mothers can cause them to desire to feel needed/wanted and not allow this growth stage in their child
Ex. Let toddlers wash their own hands, put on their clothes, feed themselves, potty train, etc. Slide5
3. Initiative vs. Guilt
Child must learn to initiate tasks and conversations.
If a parent “takes over” child will feel guilty and stop initiating.
If this stage is not successful, this can lead to difficulty in making decisions later in life.
Ex. Allow them to clean up toys, make their bed, get dressed, put dishes in dishwasher, etc. If you go in and remake their bed you are telling them they are not good enough.Slide6
4. Competence vs. Inferiority
Child must feel like they are competent in something or they will feel inferior to others.
Ex. Start a sport, start playing an instrument.
Find out what the child is good at it and praise him!
Warning: comparing children breads anger and jealousy in childrenSlide7
5. Identity vs. Role Confusion
Adolescence develops a “sense of self” and purpose in life. If not, then they become confused as to their role in life.
Identity: who you are without anything else around you.
Parents should give their teens specific responsibilities and increase those responsibilities
Ex. Babysitting, get a volunteer job, consistent required chores, getting a job, taking leadership roles in a club/organization, etc. Slide8
Types of Identity
Identity Diffusion: confused about what is expected and doesn’t seem to care to figure out his/her identity
Identity Achievement: Knowing who you are and why you believe what you believe. This is achieved through a time of asking questions
Moratorium: a time of exploring beliefs, interests, etc. Primary age is late adolescence through first few years of college
Foreclosure: formed early by taking on family values, beliefs, and expectations of the parents without knowing why.
Negative Identity: Formed in opposition to what is expected. Ex. Conformity to peer groups—reacting against something like parenting style Slide9
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation
The young adult learns to establish close relationships by being open and REAL with others OR is unable to develop close relationships and lives in isolation
Once you’ve established who you are (stage 5) you are safe to be in a relationship with someone else so you don’t base your identity off the other personSlide10
Differences in Developing Intimacy
Ladies: Journey Focused
Talk
Stop and do things a long the way
Interdependent
It’s all about the experience & details
Guys: Goal Oriented
Wrestle, play sports
Do activities togetherAction oriented
Solution FocusedSlide11
7. Generativity
vs. Stagnation
Middle age either feel like they are giving back to future generations OR a lack of purpose, feel unproductive, become self absorbed and stagnate.
This is a time to reevaluate life and ask, “Have I accomplished what I wanted in life?”Slide12
8. Integrity vs. Despair
Old age brings thoughts of the end of life. People in this stage either feel good about themselves that they have achieved their goals and that life has meaning or they are dissatisfied and feel like they have missed opportunities and fall into despair.
Reflect on one’s life time line and face life’s endSlide13
Journal
Reflect on your life and the different stages of development. Describe they stage you are currently in as well as success and failures from previous stages that might effect who you are today. Give examples that justify your success/failure for each stage.
