Objectives The goal of this discussion post is for you to identify and explain each of Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Eight Stages and then explore your development through his perspective. Are you a person who is curious about your own and others psychological development or are you someone who thinks people are just who they are and it doesn’t matter how they get there? Some of my own family members wonder why I am so intrigued by who we are in this lifetime. Whatever your views, this is your opportunity to study a theory and then apply it to your own life. Directions Before you respond to your discussion prompts review material in your textbook: Erik Erikson’s Theory of Socioemotional Development section of Chapter 8 focusing on each stage, particularly the developmental task and resolution for each stage. Note that there is a chart briefly explaining each of the stages but be sure to study all the material included on pages 304-312. This video is also a helpful summary: Step 1 – Post (15 points) Provide an explanation of each of the eight stages of development he identifies: For each stage: State the name of the stage, the age period it describes, and describe the developmental task as represented by the two possible outcomes that demonstrate the greater personal competence or the greater weakness. For each stage: Provide specific examples for each of the possible outcomes by sharing a story or example from your own life, or that of a family member or friend, for each of the possible outcomes. Please remember to always protect the confidentiality of others if you are sharing someone else’s experience. Below is an example from my life so you can get a sense of what I’m looking for in your response: Trust vs. Mistrust example answer for 1B: Trust – When my brother was born, my mother took a break from her studies/work to be a caregiver. My brother had my mother’s undivided attention. He developed a sense trust, that people will be there for him when he needs them. Mistrust – About four months after my birth, my mother returned to her studies/work. She arranged for half-time positions, relatively unheard of at the time, which were awkwardly arranged for one month of near constant work and one month “off” where she could be with me at home. As an infant, I did not understand why my caregiver would appear and disappear, when she returned home, I would initially push her away. I developed a sense of mistrust in my personal relationships, questioning whether people will be there for me when I need them. 2.
