well-known contribution to psychology is his stages of moral development, where he formulated his own theory through Piaget’s previous work. The theory was to explain the basic questions and issues that both education and psychology were asking. Kohlberg’s six stages set the foundation of moral development. Through his theory it consisted of three levels and in each level it has two stages. He based the theory upon “The Heinz Dilemma”,…

There are eight major stages in this theory and the age range is from birth to sixty-five years of age and older. I picked this theory because everyone can be categorized in a stage of this theory. I believe Lester exhibits severe depression. In the beginning of the film he hates his job, dislikes his wife, believes his wife and daughter thinks he is a “loser”. I believe he thinks his life is meaningless. For these reasons I would place him in the Generativity vs. Stagnation stage. Although it…

What one knows (or rather, how one is knowing it) emerges in light of these interactions with the environment” (Hayes, 1994). Kohlberg expanded from Jean Piaget’s previous work, which consisted of two stages, and developed it into three levels with six stages. Moral development is dynamic; it continues to develop throughout ones lifespan and the path varies from person to person. The moral development of an individual is directly related to the likelihood of becoming a criminal…

Erik Erikson is the theorist behind the Stages of Psychosocial Development. Like Freud, Erikson takes a look at the development of the emotional like and psychological traits, however Erikson also looks at the development of self-identity. Erikson had his own share of identity problems but still managed to create a personally meaningful life. One of Erikson’s key components in his theory of development would be his eight stages. He took Freud’s five stages and extended them to eight, rather…

The changing and growth of children throughout their life is an inevitable thing that will happen. Scout Finch from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird is not only a child subjected to the age of racism and Jim Crow Laws, but narrated the horrible events that go on throughout. The time that they lived in after the abolishment of slavery subjects them to extreme bias on the way they viewed blacks and other races either for the better or worse. Some ideas and examples and good evidence for the cause…

My trust level is 58 or average. My trust was built with the help of my family. I first started to learn and experience trust when I was an infant, and most people would say that I was in the “trust versus mistrust” stage of Erikson’s life-span theory (Santrock, 2013, p. 20). That is where I first start to assimilate “that the world [could] be a good and pleasant place to live” (Santrock, 2013, p. 20). From infancy to about middle or late childhood, I began to recognize…

around stage theories of religious cognitive development. There seems to be a lot of overlap in these theories as well. Jean Piaget holds a considerable amount of influence in the stage theories. There are four stages to Piaget’s theory: Sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operational stage and formal operational stage. The first stage Sensorimotor is birth to about two years and in this stage children understand the world around them by sensory and motor functions. Stage two is…

The young adult’s developmental pathway is a stage of life that includes the challenges of independence, the reward for achievement, and the endurance of crises (Nagy, 2013, p. 422.) This essay will describe and discuss the physical, cognitive and psychosocial characteristics of the young adulthood lifespan stage. Two theorists that relate their developmental research to this life span, Erikson and Piaget, are described and the discussion of two health related behaviours applicable to the…

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…

The developmental stage that was chosen was young adulthood. During young adulthood, one is transitioning from a teenager into an adult. In contrast to childhood or adolescence, an individual starts developing himself or herself as a young adult when he, or she, starts to take responsibilities for their own needs and expenses. In young adulthood, there are developmental tasks and processes that take place. This stage can be associated with Erikson 's psychosocial theory of “Intimacy vs.…
