STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
With Erickson’s Psychosocial Perspective, I realized that as we grow older we meet significant people that help us in shaping our identity. I mentioned in my first blog that what I thought about human development was - before the lesson on bioecological theory - it is shaped by our family. Eventually, I have come to realize that there are so many factors that affect human development. In the stages of psychosocial development, I discovered that the people who we interact with at each stage of our lives contribute in developing our identity. Furthermore, I also found out that at each stage, there is an interaction of opposite: positive and negative poles. As seen in the photo, at each stage a person encounters a crisis. According to Erickson, this crisis must be addressed so one can move to the next stage without conflict. To address this crisis, one will need the help of significant people at each stage. This implies how important social relationship is in developing our identity.
APPLICATION: Allow self to explore, meet new people, and engage in social interaction.
