STAGE 1: TRUST vs. MISTRUST The first stage is the most fundamental stage in life. Because in infant is utterly dependent developing trust is based on the dependability and quality of the child's caregivers.
STAGE 1: TRUST vs. MISTRUST If a caregiver fails to provide adequate care and love , the child will come to feel that they connot trust (mistrust) or depend upon the adults in their life.
STAGE 1: TRUST vs. MISTRUST Outcomes During the first stage, 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 This second stage of development takes place during early childhood and is focused on children developing a greater sense of personal control.
STAGE 2: AUTONOMY vs. SHAME and DOUBT The Role of Independence 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.
STAGE 2: AUTONOMY vs. SHAME and DOUBT Potty Training The essential theme of this stage is that children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence. Erikson believed that learning to control one's bodily functions leads to a feeling of control and a sense of independence.
STAGE 2: AUTONOMY vs. SHAME and DOUBT Outcomes Children who struggle and ashamed of their accidents may be left without a sense of personal control. Success during this stage leads to feelings of autonomy; failure results in feelings of shame and doubt .
STAGE 3: INITIATIVE vs. GUILT This stage takes place during the preschool years. At this point, children begin to assert their power and control over the world through directing play and other social interactions.
STAGE 3: INITIATIVE vs. GUILT Child must learn to initiate tasks and conversations. If a parent "takes over" child will feel guilty and stop initiating. If this stage is not successful, this can lead to difficulty in making decisions later in life. Ex. Allow them to clean up toys, get dressed, play toys, etc.
STAGE 3: INITIATIVE vs. GUILT Outcomes when an ideal balance of individual initiative and a willingness to work with others is achieved, the eqo quality known as purpose emerges.
STAGE 4: INDUSTRY vs INFERIORITY This fourth stage takes place during the early school years from ages 5 to 11. Through social interactions, children begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities.
STAGE 4: INDUSTRY vs INFERIORITY This fourth stage takes place during the early school years from ages 5 to 11. Through social interactions, children begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities.
STAGE 4: INDUSTRY vs INFERIORITY Child must feel like they are competent in something, or they will feel inferior to others Find out what the child is good at it and praise him. Do not compare him to others, it will bread anger and jealousy in children
STAGE 4: INDUSTRY vs INFERIORITY Outcomes Successfully finding a balance at this stage of psychosocial development leads to the strength known as competence , in which children develop a belief in their abilities to handle the tasks set before them.
Stage 5: Identity vs. Confusion The fifth stage occurs during adolescence, from about 12-18 years. During this stage, adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.
Stage 5: Identity vs. Confusion Teenagers explore who they are as individuals, and seek to establish a sense of self , and may experiment with different roles, activities, and behaviors.
Stage 5: Identity vs. Confusion Outcomes Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of fidelity. Fidelity involves being able to commit one's self to others on the basis of accepting others, even when there may be ideological differences.
Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation This sixth stage takes place during young adulthood between the ages of approximately 18 to 40 years old. During this period, the major conflict centers on forming intimate, loving relationships with other people.
Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation During this period, we begin to share ourselves more intimately with others . We explore relationships leading toward longer-term commitments with someone other than a family member. Avoiding intimacy, fearing commitment and relationships can lead to isolation , loneliness, and sometimes depression .
Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation Outcomes Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of love
Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation 40-mid 60's (Middle Adulthood) Established careers Settled down in a relationship Developed a sense of being part of the bigger picture of the society Raising children Becoming involved in community activities
Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation STAGNATION Self-centered Not interested in productivity No efforts to improve the self CHARACTERISTICS GENERATIVITY Making commitment to other people Developing relationships with family Mentoring others Volunteer active
Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair Maturity 65+ (death) Get older, productivity slow down, begin to explore life as retired individuals. Take a look back in our live What we have done (proud) (contentment and integrity) little regrets (happy)
INTEGRITY (Happy and Satisfied DESPAIR (Regretful and Sad) Stage 8: Integrity vs. Despair
