PSYCHOSOCIAL

THEORY
OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

GROUP 2
BERMUDO LAGARTEJA MENDEZ
MENDOZA PALLONES PORLAJE
ERIK ERIKSON
developed the Psychosocial Development Theory
impacted by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's
work
maintained that personality develops in a
predetermined order through eight stages of
psychosocial development, from infancy to
adulthood

8 STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT

Erikson asserts that ego identity is reached by


facing goals and challenges throughout eight
stages of development over the entire life cycle.
Each of the stages is distinguished by two
opposing emotional forces, known as contrary
dispositions, that result in a crisis that needs to
be resolved.
A successful resolution of the conflict results in a
healthy personality and the attainment of a
basic virtue.

TRUST VS. MISTRUST
AG E
ST
1
VIRTUE: HOPE
Infancy (from birth to 1 year old)
Most fundamental stage in life
The child is utterly dependent upon adult
caregivers for everything they need to survive
Children develop a sense of trust when
caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection
A lack of this will lead to mistrust.
Feeding is a critical activity during this stage.
Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of
hope
The balance between trust and mistrust allows
the infant to learn that while there may be
moments of discomfort or distress, they can rely
on their caregiver to provide support.

AUTONOMY VS. SHAME AND DOUBT

ST

VIRTUE: WILL
Early childhood (1-3 years old)
Children at this stage are focused on
developing a sense of personal control over
physical skills and a sense of independence.
Children begin to assert their independence
Ex: walking away from their mother, picking
which toy to play with, and making choices
about what they like to wear, to eat, etc.
Toilet training
Parents must allow their children to explore the
limits of their abilities within an encouraging
environment that is tolerant of failure
Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of will
and feelings of autonomy; failure results in
feelings of shame and doubt.

INITIATIVE VS. GUILT

VIRTUE: PURPOSE

Play Stage (3-5 years old)


Children begin to assert their power and control
over the world through directing play and other
social interactions.
Success in this stage leads children to feel
capable and able to lead others.
Those who fail to acquire these skills are left with a
sense of guilt, self-doubt, and lack of initiative.
When an ideal balance of individual initiative and
a willingness to work with others is achieved, the
virtue known as purpose emerges.

INDUSTRY VS. INFERIORITY

VIRTUE: COMPETENCE

School Years (5-12 years old)


Children start to compare themselves with their
peers to gauge their abilities and worth.
School significantly influence their development
If children are encouraged by parents and
teachers to develop skills, they gain a sense of
industry—a feeling of competence and belief in
their skills.
On the other hand, if children receive negative
feedback or are not allowed to demonstrate their
skills, they may develop a sense of inferiority.

E IDENTITY VS. ROLE CONFUSION

VIRTUE: FIDELITY

Adolescense (12-18 years old)


According to Erikson, people progress through a
series of stages as they grow and change
throughout life. During each stage, everyone faces
a developmental conflict that must be resolved to
successfully develop the primary virtue of that
stage.

psychosocial development theory

VIRTUE: LOVE

Early Adulthood (18-40 years old)


According to Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial
development, the intimacy vs isolation stage is a
crucial psychological milestone that takes place in
young adulthood

VIRTUE: CARE

Middle Age (40-65 years old)


Individuals focus more on building our lives, primarily
through our careers, families, and contributions to
society.
Both work and parenthood are important in this stage
as they provide opportunities for adults to extend their
personal and societal influence.
Generativity refers to “making your mark” on the world
Those who are successful during this phase will feel
that they are contributing to the world by being active
in their home and community.
Those who fail to attain this skill will feel unproductive
and uninvolved in the world.

VIRTUE: WISDOM
Old Age (65 years old onwards)
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
If individuals feel they have lived a fulfilling and
meaningful life, they will experience ego integrity.
If individuals feel regretful about their past, feel
they have made poor decisions, or believe they’ve
failed to achieve their life goals, they may
experience despair.
Wisdom enables a person to look back on their life
with a sense of closure and completeness, and
also accept death without fear.

27/30
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
OF ERIKSON'S THEORY
CRITICISM
The theory fails to detail what type of experiences
are necessary to resolve the conflicts in each
stage.
Social explanations used may not translate to
other cultures besides the U.S. middle-class and is
focused on the male experience

SUPPORT
Its ability to connect important psychosocial
development across a person’s lifespan.
Demonstrates middle and late adulthood are
active and significant periods of personal growth,
while other theories deem both stages irrelevant.
