Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
Erik Erikson’s theory of Psychosocial development is one of the best –known theories of Personality in psychology. Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages.
Assumptions
First, the theory assumes that humans all have the same basic needs that must be met. Second, it assumes that through meeting these basic needs, development occurs. Third, it is a stage theory that assumes that development occurs in distinct stages rather than in a continuous manner.
Erikson’s Psychosocial stages of Development
Erik Erikson proposed that throughout our lives, we encounter certain crises that contribute to our psychosocial development. He presented these crises as 8 stages of psychosocial conflicts, often known as the 8 Erikson stages.
1) Trust Vs Mistrust( Infancy- 0 to 1 1/2)
Erikson’s first stage of psychosocial development starts from infant to about 18 months old.
One-year-old to three-year-old toddlers are at the second stage of Erikson’s stages of development.
3) Initiative Vs Guilt(Play age 3 to 5)
This Erikson’s stage of psychosocial development occurs at 3-5 years of age.
4) Industry Vs Inferiority(School age 5-12)
This stage is based on early school from 5 to 12 years of age.
5) Identity Vs Role Confusion(Adolescence 12-18)
This stage of the Erikson stages of development happens during adolescence(12-18years old).
6) Intimacy Vs Isolation(Adult 18-40)
At the seventh stage of Erikson’s stages of development, the primary concern of middle-aged adults (40-65 years old) is leaving a legacy.
At the last stage of Erikson’s stages of development, people are in late adulthood (65 years old and older).
