Development Throughout the Lifespan
1. 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 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:
o Name
o Age
o Gender
o Current developmental stage
o Status within the stage (i.e., identity achievement or role confusion)
o 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.
