psychology ex

observe or interview two different people, each at a different stage of development. For a third observation, take a look at yourself and the stage that you are in (this stage must be different from your other two observations).

• Record your three observations in a template. Include the following information:
  • Name
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Current developmental stage
  • Status within the stage (i.e., identity achievement or role confusion)
  • Events that have lead to this status

Download a Development Template from the Doc Sharing area to record your observations.

• Summarize what you have learned about psychosocial development through these observations/interviews.
• Summarize the trends you see in your observations/interviews regarding psychosocial development.
• How does movement through Erikson’s stages influence personality development? Again, be specific.
• How do Erikson’s stages of development compare to Freud’s stages? How are they similar? How are they different?
• Between these two theories, which one do you feel best explains your own personality development? Justify your answers with specific examples.
