Each stage of development presents a conflict. If an individual successfully overcomes the conflict, they build greater psychological strength. 

If they fail to overcome the conflict, they may not develop a strong sense of self.

Despite the lack of clarity, psychosocial theory provides a framework for an individual's lifespan and highlights the importances of social relationships.

Researchers have also found evidence to support Erikson's ideas about identity.]]> 2023-10-10 05:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tsedensk00231_1/bi4gteh7wkiilcxz/wish/2739322455 Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust tsedensk00231_1 https://padlet.com/tsedensk00231_1/bi4gteh7wkiilcxz/wish/2739329536 Age: birth - 1.5 years
 
The first stage of psychosocial development is the most fundamental stage. Infants are dependent on their adult caregivers for everything. If a caregiver does not provide love and care, the infant will not develop trust.

Outcome: If an infant develops trust, they will feel the world is a safe place. If they fail to develop trust they will believe the world is unpredictable.

During this stage a child develops a sense of personal control and autonomy. Important milestones are gaining control of bodily functions, food choices, toy preferences, and clothing selection.

Outcome: Success during this stage of development leads to feelings of confidence and autonomy. Failure during this stage results in feelings of self doubt. It is necessary for a child to find a balance between the two so they can act with intention and reason.]]> 2023-10-10 05:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tsedensk00231_1/bi4gteh7wkiilcxz/wish/2739334331 Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt tsedensk00231_1 https://padlet.com/tsedensk00231_1/bi4gteh7wkiilcxz/wish/2739348306 Age: 3 - 5 years

During stage three, children begin to assert dominance in social interactions.

Outcome: Children who are successful at stage three are able to lead others and feel a sense of purpose. Children who fail to obtain these skills, develop self-doubt and a lack of initiative.  If a child exerts too much dominance, they will be met with disapproval and feel guilt. When a child finds a balance between individual power and teamwork, they find purpose.

During this psychosocial stage, children develop pride in  their abilities in relation to social interactions and academic advancements. Children who are emotionally supported and encouraged by their caretakers develop feelings of competence. Children who are not encouraged feel doubt.

Outcome: Children who are successful feel competent and believe they can complete tasks . Children who are not successful feel inferior.

The fifth stage happens during the teenage years. This stage revolves around personal identity which will continue to influence behavior for the remainder of a person's life. 

Outcome: Teens who develop a strong personal identity have confidence and strong sense of self. Teens who fail to develop a strong personal identity have a weak sense of self.

Our identity will constantly change based on new information and experiences. These experiences can help or hinder our identity.

Outcome: Adults who succeed in intimacy have the ability to form meaningful, secure relationships with others and feel love. Adults who fail at intimacy find themselves isolated.
