36. Erikson’s Eight Stages of Life • In psychology, the scientific study of behavior and the mind, Erik Erikson has described how people become who they are. • From infancy to older adulthood… • Here are the stages:

37. Infancy (0 to 1) • To learn trust. • The infant learns that needs are met. • (if neglected or abused, the infant learns distrust that can last a lifetime)

38. Toddler Stage (1 to 2) • To learn independence. • The toddler learns self-will. • (If unable to complete this development, the adult may remain dependent and feel inadequate.

39. Preschool Age (3 to 5) • To learn initiative (the ability to think and act without being told to do so). • The child explores with curiosity and imagination. • (if discouraged in this development, the adult may avoid leadership and risks.

40. School Age (6 to 12) • To develop industriousness (earnest, steady effort). • The child has confidence to pursue self-chosen goals. (If this development fails, the adult will lack social confidence and will perform poorly).

41. Adolescence (13 to 20) • To develop an identity. • Teens develop a strong sense of self, goals, and timing and learns how to fit into the social circle – as a leader, follower, female, and male. • The adolescent picks out role models and grows with confidence.

42. Young Adulthood (21 to 40) • To develop intimacy (close, personal relationships). • The young adult can commit to love, to work, and to a social group. • (Failure leads to avoidance of intimacy, misuse of sexuality, isolation , and destructiveness.

43. Adulthood (41 to 60) • To develop generativity (giving yourself and your talents to others). • The mature adult moves through life with confidence, taking pride in accomplishments. • (The negative side of this is stagnation, self-involvement, and failure to encourage others).

44. Older Adulthood (61 and older) • To retain ego integrity (satisfaction with life). • The person feels fulfilled and faces death with serenity. • (The adult who has not moved positively through earlier stages experiences isolation, despair, and fears of death).

45. Discussion • The negative words we say to each other can be destructive and damaging as a physical attack, and the effects are more long lasting. • Are comments normally made directly to the person or behind their back? • How do you feel about negative comments you learn are directed to you. • Encouraged to make positive comments as often as possible.

46. A Teen’s New Experiences • People develop their identities and their ability to reason during the teen years. • Teens can consider variables, changeable factors that affect outcomes, and use logic to make predictions of what might happen. • At the same time teens are searching for an individual identity, they may associate with a group identity. • This is really a step toward independence, because joining a group is a way of joining the larger society outside of the family.

47. New ways of thinking… • The hours that teens spend in each others company permit them to practice reasoning, a skill that gives them great advantage in working out relationships with others. • A person who leaves the teen years “OK” can move onto adulthood without difficulty. • The less fortunate who internalize a sense of self doubt and failure may have difficulty in performing the tasks of adulthood.

48. Human Needs According to Maslow • The theorist Abraham Maslow described a ladder or pyramid of human needs that people of all ages experience • According to Maslow, people struggle to meet their basic needs and once these needs are met they can move on to higher needs.

50. Gender & Personality • Physical Maturation: people grow and mature physically from birth to adulthood. • However, not until someone around the early teen years do they enter the period of sexual maturation called adolescence. • Puberty is the period of life in which a person becomes physically capable of reproduction.
