Erikson's stages of psychosocial development

It is important for conflicts to be solved through means other than violence, because violence causes harm. Clearly, it is not good to put others’ in harm. It is always better to just talk things out. Violence does not solve anything, in fact, it only creates more issues. Some of these issues include trust and forgiveness. If I was about to approach somebody to discuss a conflict we might be having and I planned to forgive that person that day, but then that person approached me and slapped my…

Erikson came up with eight stages of cognitive development that strictly focused on the nurture aspect of life and environmental influence. The stages were formatted with the idea that each one had specific needs that needed to be met in order to advance to the next. Social behavior is observed to have a better understanding of developmental age in correspondence to numerical age. Erikson’s first developmental stage is Trust vs Mistrust, which encompasses birth to 18 months…

Life is composed of different stages, learning experiences, and constant emotional and mental growth. Erik Erikson’s developmental theory consists of eight psychosocial stages of the human psyche. Five of them happen before the age of eighteen and it is proposed that these beginning stages of life have the most influence on the type of person one will become. The last three stages is the emotional turmoil a person faces through the rest of their life, such as what career to choose, marriage,…

first stage it is Trust versus mistrust and the virtue that needs to be learned here is Hope. I do not remember this part of my life because this stage is from birth to one and half years old. I have been told as a child, I was very secure in my dealings with others and handling change with ease. So I must have mastered this stage because I was told that as a baby, I was very happy and content. According to Erikson the fact that I was a happy and content baby proves that I mastered this stage.…

erogenous zones. There are five stages that come with this theory which are oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. The oral stage explains the focus pleasure seeking activity is through the individual’s mouth. This stage starts at birth and ends at 18 months.

Meredith did prove this stage by sucking on a pacifier…

1. The stage of development that I would classify myself as is emerging adulthood. For several reasons, one is that I am 20-years-old, which is in the middle of the transition period between adolescence to adulthood.

I completely relate to these traits, considering I am gaining more independence while pursuing higher education; my time in college has…

Red Flags: While I did not see any red flags that would concern me about Teddy’s development, I think that it is important that Teddy is continued to be encouraged to interact with his peers so he can learn from his peers as they can be his more knowledgeable others. Summary: Overall Teddy has had positive interactions with both his peers and caregivers. While Teddy tends to prefer company of caregivers, he is still able to interact positively with this peers, and he demonstrates having…
