Assignment 2: LASA 1: Development Throughout the Lifespan
Â
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.
Â
When considering these two stage-oriented theories, you can directly compare the majority of their stages. These are matched in the following table:
Â
|
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 |
Â
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.
Â
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).
Â
Â
Download a Development Template from the Doc Sharing area to record your observations.
Â
Â
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: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.
