Lesson 4

Developmental Stages in Middle


and Late Adolescence
Topic 1: Erik Erikson's Stages of
Psychosocial Development
Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust

During the first stage of psychosocial


development, children develop a sense
of trust when caregivers provide
reliability, care, and affection. A lack of
this will lead to mistrust.
Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and
Doubt
At this point in development, children are
just starting to gain a little independence.
They are starting to perform basic actions
on their own and making simple decisions
about what they prefer. By allowing kids to
make choices and gain control, parents and
caregivers can help children develop a
sense of autonomy.
Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt

The major theme of the third stage of


psychosocial development is that children
need to begin asserting control and power
over the environment. Success in this stage
leads to a sense of purpose. Children who
try to exert too much power experience
disapproval, resulting in a sense of guilt.
Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority
Through social interactions, children begin
to develop a sense of pride in their
accomplishments and abilities.

Children need to cope with new social and


academic demands. Success leads to a sense
of competence, while failure results in
feelings of inferiority.
Stage 5: Identity vs. Confusion
The fifth psychosocial stage takes place during
the often turbulent teenage years. This stage
plays an essential role in developing a sense of
personal identity which will continue to
influence behavior and development for the
rest of a person's life. Teens need to develop a
sense of self and personal identity. Success
leads to an ability to stay true to yourself,
while failure leads to role confusion and a
weak sense of self.
Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation
 Young adults need to form intimate, loving
relationships with other people. Success
leads to strong relationships, while failure
results in loneliness and isolation. This stage
covers the period of early adulthood
when people are exploring personal
relationships.
 Successful resolution of this stage results in
the virtue known as love. It is marked by the
ability to form lasting, meaningful
relationships with other people.
Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation
 Adults need to create or nurture things
that will outlast them, often by having
children or creating a positive change that
benefits other people. Success leads to
feelings of usefulness and accomplishment,
while failure results in shallow
involvement in the world.
Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair
 The final psychosocial stage occurs during old age
and is focused on reflecting back on life.
  At this point in development, people look back on
the events of their lives and determine if they are
happy with the life that they lived or if they regret
the things they did or didn't do.
 Erikson's theory differed from many others because
it addressed development throughout the entire
lifespan, including old age. Older adults need to look
back on life and feel a sense of fulfillment. Success at
this stage leads to feelings of wisdom, while failure
results in regret, bitterness, and despair.
