PSY406
Assignment
Dear students,
Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development highlights how individuals
progress through eight stages from infancy to late adulthood, each marked by a
specific developmental challenge or “crisis.” In an educational context,
understanding these stages helps teachers recognize students’ emotional, social, and
cognitive needs at different ages. It also aids in creating supportive learning
environments that foster growth and confidence.
For this assignment, you are required to identify psychosocial stages from Erikson’s
theory. For each stage, mention the name of the stage, the typical age range, and
write a brief rationale (2–3 sentences) explaining how this stage might manifest in
an educational setting. Please submit your work done in the given space in the table.
