1. Erikson’s work is based on whose research?
Erikson’s work is an adaptation of Sigmund Freud’s work, as stated on page forty-five of the book. Though, it is not that Erikson’s work simply stands atop Freud’s work, instead the concepts were used and then expanded upon.
2. What are the stages of Erikson’s psychosocial development theory? What stage are you in?
The eight stages that make up Erikson’s theory are as follows: truest vs mistrust (birth to eighteen months), autonomy vs doubt (eighteen months to three years), initiative vs guilt (three to six years), industry vs inferiority (six to twelve years), identity vs role confusion (twelve to eighteen years), intimacy vs isolation (young adulthood), generativity vs self-absorption (middle …show more content…
In simple terms, the first stage (heteronomous) which was observed in the younger kids (younger than ten) showed that children tended not to change the rules as they were believed to be unchangeable. This of course was only the case if the children knew of the rules, which not all truly were able to understand the concept. The next stage (autonomous) it was observed that children regarded the rules, but also made changes based on the interactions with others. The theory Piaget was attempting to support was that the concept of morality is based on the judgement of the person, and by their cognitive abilities.
5. Kohlberg is a refinement of Piaget’s theory and more widely known. What are the three levels of Kohlberg’s stages?
The three levels of Kohlberg’s stages are as follows: stage one preconventional level, stage two, conventional level, and stage three postconventional level. To briefly explain all three, the first stage showcases rules being set by others, while the second encompass the ability for individual to adopt rules in times of need. The final level is where an individual is able to define a set of values which dictates their decisions.

This is problematic as more recent studies hint that the two groups vary on how they deal with various dilemmas. Beyond this, there have been critics who point out the limitations of Kohlberg’s theory, mainly pointing out that children at younger ages can deal with problems with actions or responses higher than the level they are at or the next level. This is problematic as Kohlberg states that the individual can only move one level with each moral dilemma. With this information, and the information of what Kohlberg’s theory suggest I have to agree with the critics. There has been research to back Kohlberg’s theory, and I do believe there is a progression of cognitive or moral levels that individuals go through. I believe the main problem is that Kohlberg attempts to quantify his finds, he attempts to put limitations on how much a person can grow in an instance. Science needs proof and studies that can be repeated to show such proof, everyone learns and grows up at different rates. What is interesting, is that the book states “similar” or “recent” studies have been conducted. No one person is the same, though I again believe the idea of progression within oneself does occurred, I would find it interesting to know if the studies are being conducted in the same manner.
