Anal stage

Erick Erikson's psychosocial theory poses eight stages throughout life of psychosocial development. Each stage is characterized by an emotional challenge, and each stage builds on the last one. Erickson named the struggles that are faced in each stage as identity crisis. Stage one deals with trust and mistrust (birth to 1 year). This stage has to deal with the parents. If the parents are there for the child and cares for the child, then the child will establish trust, but if the the parent…

Lawrence Kohlberg believed that people advanced through their moral reasoning in a series of stages. There are six identifiable stages that are classified into three levels. Pre-Conventional, Conventional, and Post-Conventional. When organized on a chart, it was classified as Level, stage, and social orientation so that you could understand which level, what stage as in age, and behavior of the person. The concept of moral development is based on thinking and logic, not on feelings for others.…

Isolation. According to Maria (1966) “identity achievement individuals have gone through a period of crisis and have made commitments to an occupation and ideology” (Adams & Kacerguis, 1980, p. 117). In this stage, adults seek meaningful relationships. Additionally, the goal of this stage is to “fuse identities” though intimacy (Adams & Kacerguis p. 118, 1980). During this time, she felt very isolated and alone living in the camps. However, she could form intimate relationships and bonds with…

In early childhood education there are many philosophers who have theories about early childhood. Each philosopher has a different point of view on how things should be set in for early childhood. In this paper I will discuss a few different philosophers I have learned about while taken early childhood classes. One of the many philosophers I have learned about in early childhood was Erik Erikson. Erik theories are broken down into four different subcategories. One of the sub categories is trust…

and apply logic, although their thinking is limited by direct experiences. By applying logic, children learn to grasp concepts of conservation, number, classification, and many other scientific ideas (The Developing Person, pg 49). Children in this stage finally begin to understand that there is no reversing death. This is different because, as Miriam demonstrated, at first she believed that Pepper would just wake up later that day. A 9-year-old would understand that Pepper cannot wake up after…

social aspects of their lives. There were nine stages to Erikson’s psychosocial development theory; “trust vs. mistrust,” “autonomy vs. shame and doubt,” “initiative vs. guilt,” “industry v. inferiority,” “identity vs. identity confusion,” “generativity vs. stagnation,” “integrity vs. despair,” and lastly “hope and faith vs. despair” (Crandell, Crandell, and Zanden). Trust vs. mistrust is from birth to one year’s old. During this developmental stage children learn to trust or not trust…

Introduction In this reflection paper, I will be particularly focusing on the following concepts of Alfred Adler’s Individual psychology and a brief theoretical background of Adler and how his childhood experiences have influenced his theory. The birth order, feeling inferiority, and compensation will then be defined and discussed as to how these concepts can be applied to my life. An individual’s attempt to compensate for the feelings of inferiority and to strive towards overcoming them,…

Cognitive Development Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development talks about how people gain information through the years. This happens in four stages: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperationational reasoning stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. This past week I have been studying a child in the concrete operational stage. This stage is from ages seven to eleven. In this period of time, the child will have “more flexible thinking and can think in more than…
