Development

Erikson's psychological development theory comprises eight unique stages. The first five stages describe the period up to 18 years, while the last three explain the time leading to maturity. Erikson points out that there is yet an ample room for continuous growth and development all through a person's life. Fundamentally, Erikson emphasizes on the pubertal period, feeling it is an important stage for the expansion of an individual's identity. Similar to Freud, Erikson believes that there are…

Formulating an identity is something everyone goes through. Erik Erikson was a 20th century psychoanalyst who theorised that people go through eight different stages of development that helps determine their own identity (Woolfolk and Perry, 2012). Erikson’s eight different stages of development are 1) Trust versus mistrust, 2) autonomy versus shame and doubt, 3) initiative versus guilt, 4) industry versus inferiority, 5) identity versus role diffusion, 6) intimacy and solidarity versus…

Introduction On November 22, 2015, I interviewed someone about on their personal development based off Erikson’s stages of development. We met at a local coffee shop in Topeka that both of us were familiar with. I chose to study this particular stage of development because it is the one I am currently preparing the most for. The decisions I make today will prepare for and affect my future. The stage of development I am currently in will lead into a career, self-confidence, and building a family…

According to Piaget’s four stages of cognitive development theory (Santrock, 2014), I would be in the formal operational stage. This stage can begin as early as 11 and continue throughout the lifespan developmental process. In this stage one begins to reason in more abstract, idealistic, and logical ways (Santrock 2014). I would say that I have been in this stage for many years now, and have made a lot of developmental progress throughout this cognitive stage. For example, over the years I have…

For Erikson, these crises are of a psychosocial nature because they involve psychological needs of the individual…

Piaget’s Theory of 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…

make history do, and his research paved an outline for others to do additional research on. Without the fundamentals of Piaget’s theories we may not have built upon the knowledge of these stages quite as quickly nor as proficiently. The stages of development Piaget recognized led to progression in the way we educate children, and led to changes when other psychologists research showed that some of the concluding factors Piaget came to were incorrect, and required a bit of fine-tuning.…

In this paper I will cover the interview that I had with a child to evaluate their moral development according to Carol Gilligan and Lawerence Kohlberg. To evaluate the child there were two stories that I read and a series of questions that followed each story. Based on the response given by the child is how I could decipher where they were for moral development. Some basic concepts that are discussed in this paper are: welfare of others it is the “concern for the well being of other/s, hurt or…
