Development Throughout the Lifespan
Erikson and Freud are two of the few theorists who have
developed a lifespan approach to development. Freud’s
approach to development was psychosexual while Erikson’s was
psychosocial. Even though Freud’s theory is better known,
Erikson’s theory remains a leading and very much applied
model in personality and developmental psychology today.
When considering these two stage-oriented theories, you can
directly compare the majority of their stages. These are matched
in the following table:
Approximate Age
Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial development
Infancy (Birth to 1 year)
Oral stage
Trust versus mistrust
Early childhood (1–3 years)
Anal stage
Autonomy versus doubt
Preschool (3–6 years)
Phallic stage
Initiative versus guilt
School age (7–11 years)
Latent period
Industry versus inferiority
Adolescence (12–18 years)
Genital stage
Identity versus role confusion
Young adulthood (19–40 years)
Intimacy versus isolation
Middle adulthood (40–65 years)
Generativity versus stagnation
Older adulthood (65–death)
Integrity versus despair
When considering Erikson's eight stages of development, the
way a person moves through each stage directly affects their
success in the next stage. Their personality is being built and
shaped with each stage. At each stage, there is a turning point,
called a crisis by Erikson, which a person must confront.
In this assignment, you will observe or interview
two
different people, each at a different stage of development. For a
third
observation, take a look at yourself and the stage that you are in
(this stage must be different from your other two observations).
Record your three observations in a template. Include the
following information:
Name
Age
Gender
Current developmental stage
Status within the stage (i.e., identity achievement or role
confusion)
Events that have lead to this status
Download a Development Template from the
Doc Sharing
area to record your observations.
Summarize what you have learned about psychosocial
development through these observations/interviews.
Summarize the trends you see in your observations/interviews
regarding psychosocial development.
How does movement through Erikson's stages influence
personality development? Again, be specific.
How do Erikson's stages of development compare to Freud’s
stages? How are they similar? How are they different?
Between these two theories, which one do you feel best explains
your own personality development? Justify your answers with
specific examples.
Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Insert your chart at the
end of your paper. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Use the following file naming convention:
