Lesson 3.

Erikson's Theory of Psychological Development

• Hope: Trust vs. Mistrust (oral-sensory, infancy, 0–2 years)-children develop a sense of trust when caregivers provide reliability, care and affection.
• Will: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (early childhood, 2–4 years)- children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skill and a sense of independence.

• Purpose: Initiative vs. Guilt (locomotor-genital, preschool, 4–5 years)-children needs to begin asserting control and power over the environment.

• Competence: Industry vs. Inferiority (latency, school age, 5–12 years)-children need to cope with new social and academic demands.

• Fidelity: Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence, 13–19 years)-teens need to develop a sense of self and personal identity.

• Love: Intimacy vs. Isolation (early adulthood, 20-39 years)-young adults need to form intimate, loving relationships with other people.

• Care: Generativity vs. Stagnation (adulthood, 40–64 years)-adults need to create or nurture thing that will out last them, often by having children or creating a positive change that benefit other people.

• Wisdom: Ego Integrity vs. Despair (maturity, 65 – death)-older adults needs to look back on life and feel a sense of fulfillment. Success at this stage leads to feelings of wisdom while failure results in regret, bitterness and despair.
