People contact me who are looking for personal, one on one MSAT instruction in their geographical area. I feel like there is so much information that I'm having trouble swallowing it all. Lets examine Erik Erickson's theory of psychosocial development and then give two similarities and two differences. The personality of an individual forms as the ego progresses through a series of interrelated stages. Personality development occurs as one successfully resolves a series of turning points, or psychosocial crises.
Psychosocial attitude is that they can trust their world.
Consistency, continuity, and sameness of experience foster trust. Parents satisfy infant's basic needs which will permit children to think of their world as safe and dependable. If care is inadequate, inconsistent, or negative, children will approach the world with fear and suspicion. Psychosocial attitude is that of independence. Toddlers permitted and encouraged to do things at their own pace and in their own way will develop a sense of autonomy.
