Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is psychosocial development?

    Model answer

    Psychosocial development is Erikson's account of personality forming through a series of social conflicts that a person resolves at each stage of life.

  2. 2

    How many stages did Erikson describe?

    Model answer

    Erikson described eight stages, each covering a different period of life from infancy to old age.

  3. 3

    Name Erikson's first stage and say what it depends on.

    Model answer

    Erikson's first stage is trust versus mistrust, and it depends on whether a baby's needs are met reliably during the first year.

  4. 4

    What is Erikson's second stage?

    Model answer

    Erikson's second stage is autonomy versus shame and doubt, in which a child of roughly one to three years learns to do things for themselves.

  5. 5

    How should an early years worker support a child in the autonomy stage?

    Model answer

    A worker should let the child pour their own drink, choose between two activities and pull on their own coat, accepting the mess and the extra time this takes.

  6. 6

    What is Erikson's third stage, and what ages does it cover?

    Model answer

    Erikson's third stage is initiative versus guilt, covering roughly three to six years, when a child plans and begins their own activities.
