This is when they are learning who is safe for them and who is not. As an example, screaming to get away from being held by a stranger/ someone they're meeting for the first time. Some babies just do not like being held by certain people. This is their first taste of being trusting toward someone. When I was talking more closely with my interviewee, Angelina, she told me she felt that she did not have that fear at such a young age. In the McGraw textbook, Child, the authors gave this to the readers "For example, the critical theme of infancy is basic trust versus basic mistrust. People need to trust the world and the people in it, but they also need to learn some mistrust to protect themselves of danger." (Martorell pg 14)

This is when Angelina started to question why she should be afraid of others when they didn't actively show aggression. She told me she felt she was stripped from her autonomy when she was in this stage. I did not pry on the question as I felt it was honestly none of my business and sensitive. She felt an overall doubt over autonomy at this point. The authors said that "...Erikson did make it clear that social and cultural influences mattered." (Martorell pg 14)

This stage seems to be really honed in on the fact that the environment they're in is extremely influential and our interpersonal skills. If they're (the child) in a space where they can explore, practice initiating things, and can make their own decisions, they are likely to end up having initiative. The opposite is true for an environment where they're stifled and told exactly what to do for everything, losing some free will. Angelina said that she felt guilty for not trusting her parents when they made the proclamation to be afraid.  She felt that because she wasn’t of another race, she should be fine and questioned their authority. This is when you're supposed to "...develops initiative when trying new activities and is not overwhelmed by guilt" (14) but instead, Angelina was overcome with guilt for everything.

This is when they're learning to master competency which leads to confidence. Industry is meaning to successfully overcoming different challenges and achieving a sense of mastery fosters a feeling of industry. Children develop a belief in their abilities, feel productive, and gain confidence in their skills. Conversely, if children are unable to meet the expectations or demands placed on them, experience consistent failures, or lack positive reinforcement for their efforts, they may develop a sense of inferiority. According to the text, "This (inferiority) is problematic because during middle childhood, children must learn skills valued in their society." (McGraw 93) Angelina said that during this time, once she saw them and they didn't hurt her, she felt okay, once they saw her and did not in-fact kill her, she felt okay. She grew her sense of industry. ]]> 2023-07-17 00:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645892498 bbaldwin43 https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645926908 "The chief task of adolescents, said Erikson, is to confront the crisis of identity versus identity confusion in order to become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and a valued role in society" (Martorell 109) During this stage of puberty to young adulthood, they're trying to figure out what their role is in society, and build a good sense of self. For Angelina during this age, she realized that she could trust her instincts and not rely on her parents for how to feel. ]]> 2023-07-17 00:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645926908 bbaldwin43 https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645931054 Angelina was raised not to trust others growing up. Her parents had a volatile marriage and when she had boyfriends, she would break up with them at any sign of angst. She didn't want turmoil in her life and avoided it at all costs. This continued until she was 27 years old and met her husband, Tom. To me, this phase is choosing to be vulnerable or to be lonely. Our text only mentions this once, "Person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption." (Martorell pg 14)]]> 2023-07-17 00:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645931054 bbaldwin43 https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645942397 Angelina decided at 48 to get a degree in business and is pursuing this while working in IU Indy's finance department. She is going to be 49 in September and she's still working hard on her degree. The textbook defines this stage as "mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment." (Martorell pg 14) To me, stagnation is to be stuck in one place and I do not think Angelina is stuck. To me, she's showing generativity which is achieving goals related to their stage of adulthood. ]]> 2023-07-17 01:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645942397 bbaldwin43 https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645950744 Though Angelina is not at this stage yet, she said "I'd still be rocking it". The last stage is about being content with your life and how it played out, or being miserable that you're aging and regret many things. The only mention of this in the book is "Elderly person achieves acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over inability to relive life." (Martorell pg 14) I think Angelina will have a full and happy life.]]> 2023-07-17 01:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bbaldwin43/ks5rk3y0oaz4qsz9/wish/2645950744
