Psychosocial Stage of Development
Abstract
Erik Erickson stages of development describe where each individual should be socially depending on his or her age. Erickson has eight stages cover the virtue of hope, will purpose, competency, fidelity, love, care, and wisdom. This paper will discuss my present psychosocial developmental stage.
Psychosocial Stage of Development
Erik Erikson psychosocial stage of development is broke down into eight stages. Those eight stages cover development form birth to death. Though many stages cover early childhood, most of the time lived is during adulthood (young, middle, and old adults). Individuals develop in different ways sometimes life experience can cause someone to stay in life span more than another. In the following paragraphs I will discuss the stage of development that I am currently based on my age and personality traits, positive and negatives of the developmental stage, how my current stage of development affects behavior and relationships, and how other developmental issue influence personality.
Present Eriksonian Psychosocial Stage of Development and Positive and Negatives
Out of Erickson’s stages of development I am a combination of two. The two stages of development that best describes me are Intimacy vs. Isolation (stage 6) and Generativity vs. Stagnation (stage 7). Intimacy vs. Isolation is the stage where love is of virtue. At this point in one’s life, one is either loving quickly or rejecting love and those who have found love. “In the ritualization/ritualism realm, “affillation” (healthy and tolerant relations to others) is the positive result while “elitism” (a fascist affiliation only to people similar to oneself) is the exaggerated negative (Franks, 2008).”I am a prime example of promiscuity because I get attached to someone truly fast and expect everything to work out because I do not want to judge other based on my past. However, when the situation does not work, I pull away and reject any other type of
