The final stage of Erik Erikson's pyschosocial development theory is Integrity vs. Despair and occurs in late adulthood. During this stage, elders are aging and looking back on their life. They are questioning if they have lived a meaningful, purposeful life. "Elderly person achieves acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over inability to relive life" (Martorell). I have not yet experienced this stage in my life. For me to overcome this crisis, the resolution would have to be a feeling of peace and acceptance of my own life.

The seventh stage of Erik Erikson's pyschosocial development theory is Generativity vs. Stagnation and occurs during middle adulthood. During this stage, adults are looking to reproduce and create something to nurture. Adults are looking to create the next generation with either a loved one or through adoption/fostering. "Mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment" (Martorell). I have not yet experienced this stage in my life, but I do look forward to creating my own family. When I am experiencing this crisis, I hope to create my own family if possible or adopting a child.

The sixth stage of Erik Erikson's pyschosocial development theory is Intimacy vs. Isolation which occurs in young adulthood. During this stage, one is searching for love and wanting to form loving relationships. If one does not find love, it could lead to isolation and loneliness. "Person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption" (Martorell). This stage consists of one searching for a soulmate. The crisis for me during this stage was always wanting to find attention and searching for someone to love. The resolution for this was finding a boyfriend that I am in a happy relationship with.

The fifth stage of the Erik Erikson pyschosocial developmental theory is Identity vs. Confusion. This stage is between the times of puberty and adulthood which is around the ages of 12 and 18. During this stage, one has to question who they are and decide what their qualities are. You have to learn how to develop a sense of self. "Adolescent must determine sense of self 'Who am I' or experience confusion about roles" (Martorell). You have to discover who you are and how to interact with the others around you. The crisis for me during this time would be deciding on what career I wanted to go into and what I wanted to study. The resolution of this crisis was discovering that I love being in a classroom and I love watching students grow, learn, and become wonderful humans.

The fourth stage of Erik Erikson's pyschosocial development theory is Industry vs. Inferiority and is between the ages of 6 up to puberty. During this stage, children have to adapt to their surroundings and learn to fit into the new environment around them. "Child must learn skills of the culture or face feelings of incompetence" (Martorell). Children are entering the school system during these times and have to adjust to this new environment. The crisis I experienced during this stage was adjusting to the school environment. I had a lot of separation anxiety with my mom and I would often cry at school because I would have rather been with her. The resolution for this crisis was my mom giving me a cupcake necklace that I would wear everyday to school that would remind me of her.

The third stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory is Initiative vs. Guilt and is between the ages 3 to 6. During this stage, children learn to decide if they are being good or bad and expand in their social interaction through play. "Child develops initiative when trying new activities and is not overwhelmed by guilt" (Martorell). This stage is very influential on the development of the child behaviorally and socially. The crisis for me during this stage was always wondering if I was being a good student at daycare and how I should interact with others around me. The resolution for me was to always follow the rules as well as possible and to branch out and make a few friends in my preschool years.

The second stage of Erik Erikson's pyschosocial development theory is Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt. During this stage, children have to decide whether they can do something themselves or not. Children are becoming more independent and having more self control over themselves during this stage. "Child develops a balance of independence and self-sufficiency over shame and doubt" (Martorell). This stage allows children to expand their abilities. During this stage, I was in the crisis of what I was able to do myself and learning how to do basic things on my own. The resolution for myself during this stage was learning how to brush my own hair and dressing myself.

The first stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory is Trust vs. Mistrust. This stage is between the ages of birth and 18 months and is very influential on the life of a child. This stage allows a child to know who to trust in their world and helps form the child's demeanor and personality. "Baby develops sense of whether world is a good and safe place" (Martorell). This stage is a large factor of the life of every child. While I was going through the first stage of Trust vs. Mistrust, I did not trust many people other than my parents. For example, I would only allow for my parents to hold me while I was a child or I would scream and cry. The resolution during this crisis for me was to eventually trust the others in my life including my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and close family friends to hold me. While I got closer to the age of 18 months, I allowed for others to hold me and I expanded my trust to others. I had grown to learn to trust others through this stage and I had discovered that the world is a good place for me to be in.
