McCrae & Costa’s (1999) five-trait theory also houses in it the plaster hypothesis, which claims that personality traits form and develop through childhood before stabilizing in middle adulthood. It is important to note that, unlike the Five Factor Theory presented by McCrae & Costa’s (1999), the contextual perspective, as noted earlier on in the paper, asserts that personality change, throughout an individual adult life, is due specifically to person-environment interactions, for it can be…

ANALYSIS OF DEVELOPMENT THEORIES Analysis of Development Theories Erik Erikson (1950, 1968) proposed a theory of psychological development comprising eight stages. This focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. The eight stages are based partly on the stages proposed by Freud and partly on Erikson’s studies in a wide variety of cultures. According to Erikson (1950, 1968), each stage of…

In occupational therapy, Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) and Person- Environment- Occupational Performance (PEOP) Model are two fundamental frameworks. MOHO was developed from 1960s onwards by Dr. Gary Kielhofner, which was the first occupation- based model to explain occupation and occupational problems, while PEOP is a client- centred and top- down model, focusing on the relationship between individual, group and community since 1980s.

There are eight stages in Erickson 's psychosocial development. The stages, which reach across the lifespan, each come with their own set of limitations and goals. One of the final stages, in late adulthood, ego-integrity-versus-despair occurs. This stage is characterized by looking over ones own life and evaluating and coming to terms with the outcome. Throughout the aging and adulthood of my virtual life I have made a multitude of choices that would correlate with integrity. During the…

Trust vs. Mistrust At zero to two years old, an infant resolves the feelings of uncertainty by looking towards their caregiver for stability and consistency of care. Infants who receives consistent, and reliable care will foster a sense of trust with them that they will bring forward to other relationships. By cultivating a sense of trust, the infant can develop hope. This sense of hope will allow to the infant to withstand new crises if it arises. Lacking the sense of hope will lead to the…

The process of human development is measured according to numerous stages, each of which displays its own and individual distinct set of expectations with regards to emotional growth, social awareness, physical maturation and psychological development. With every stage, also comes a different set of life cycle thoughts and a set of both socially and self-inflicted burdens to contribute in certain resources and foundations of the life sequences. These periods and phases of realities are what is…

Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory was one that focused on the psychosocial stages of life that influences how a person develops from infancy to late adulthood. Erikson’s theory was meant to show how culture, society, and the environment a person grows up in can be a major factor in successfully going through each stage. According to Erikson’s theory, not completing a stage early in life as a child, or later as an adolescent, can be detrimental to a person’s personality. There are eight total…
