Assignment 2: LASA 1: 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: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.
