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.…

Erikson’s Stages of Life Socialization is defined as learning social norms and gaining social experience and using it to help build a unique personality and become a part of society. Unlike other species, studies show that humans need social interaction to live normal,healthy lives. Researchers in the mid 1800s to 1900s came up with six major theories of socialization, including the Erik H. Erikson’s 8 stages of development. Erikson looked at human development in a broader view and broke down…

people strive for understanding. Sparking up interest of psychology in people such as Sigmund Freud who established the stages of psychosexual stages of development believed that a crisis occurs at every stage of the developmental process and Erik Erikson who established the psychosocial stages of development and like Freud, Erikson assumes that a crisis will occur at each stage of development. For Erikson, these crises are of a psychosocial nature because they involve psychological needs of the…

progressed through stages, similar to stages of child development. Although Kohlberg described moral development as occurring over a series stages, the stages are hierarchical and discontinuous. Kohlberg believed that moral development occurred over a series of six stages. The stages include punishment orientation, naive reward orientation, good girl/boy orientation, authority orientation, social contract orientation and individual principles and conscience orientation. One stage is also not…

According to Erikson there are eight psychosocial stages, these eight stages focus on society, culture and conflicts that happen within the ego itself. Each stage involves two conflicting emotional forces, a negative vs a positive. As we develop the ego develops, we work out moments of crises that are distinctly social in nature which enable us to build trust in others and develop a sense of identity in society (Hoffnung et al. 2013) Erikson states that the personality develops in a…

Renowned Psychologist, Erik Erikson has 8 stages of psychological stages which are: Trust vs mistrust, autonomy vs. shame and doubt, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and integrity v. despair. These stages cover the life span from birth to death. People who successfully go through each conflict gain a new understanding of themselves and are psychologically successful. On the other hand, people have fail…

Nina Thueson Piaget’s stages of cognitive development: The sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2 In this stage the infant learns and explores primarily through their senses and the world around them is only what they can see and make associations with.

The preoperational stage, from age 2 to about age 7 This is the stage were kids struggle to see other people's point of…

theory about psychosocial stages all humans go through. (book) The first stage spans from birth to the 1 year mark. The stage is trust vs mistrust which should determine whether or not you have faith in people or expect the worst from people. The next stage is autonomy vs shame and doubt (ages 1-3) decides whether or not you will be independent or doubtful of your abilities. Stage 3 is initiative vs guilt (ages 3 to 6) the child will either become anxious or responsible. Stage 4 is industry vs…

Despite being flawed, Piaget made exceptional contributions to the outlook we have on sensorimotor stages. He outdid those of his time, as most brilliant people who 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…

The sixth stage is intimacy vs. isolation in which development occurs in early adulthood between ages nineteen to thirty-nine (Evans, Forney, Guido, Patton, & Renn, 2010). During this stage of development young adults develop close relationships in the hopes of having a secure and committed relationship in the future. In this stage it is important to have a strong sense of personal identity. Those who do not develop committed relationship are more likely to suffer from emotional isolation,…
