Chapter 7 Flashcards
Eriksonian model:
Believed that early relationships with parents played a significant role in the development of children.
Erikson’s Model
- Trust vs. Mistrust
- Autonomy vs. Shame/doubt
- Initiative vs. guilt
- industry vs. inferiority
- identity vs role confusion
- intimacy vs isolation
- generativity vs stagnation
- integrity vs despair
Trust vs Mistrust
-0-2 years
-Development of basic trust with parental figures
-Normal dependency: child can depend on the parental figures to be consistent and present → trust
(Learn to self-sooth;
Learn to trust that they can effect movement in their environment)
-If the child is unable to develop a felt bond or connection, a strong core message of unworthiness or not being enough can develop
Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt
- 2-4 years old
- Child learns to differentiate right from wrong and good from bad
- Working towards the development of a sense of autonomy and separateness to build to an internal sense of control; setting boundaries by saying “no” and are challenging their environment
- Support of the child creating healthy boundaries is important to the development of a healthy self-esteem, without this trust they may feel shame, doubt, insecurity
Initiative vs Guilt
- 4-6 years old
- Facilitated primarily by the parental figures setting reasonable limits, which encourage the child to engage in new initiatives
- Initial role identification occurs for boys/girls
- Guilt occurs if this stage fails
Industry vs. inferiority
- 6-puberty
- Child is observing socially acceptable activities (parents & peer groups)
- Need to feel an internalized sense of success, if not they will feel discouraged
Identity vs. Role Confusion
- Beyond puberty
- Individual’s struggle for identity and finding a place in the world
- Trust vs mistrust is revisited for the community and other environments
- Failure to develop a sense of self leads to a diffuse and scattered self-understanding
Intimacy vs Isolation
- Romantic relationships and significant friendships begin to develop
- Recapitulation of family dynamics with intimate relationships
Generativity vs. Stagnation
- Involves the altruistic behavior or humans, either by raising a family or going beyond one’s own ego and helping others. Often includes parenthood.
- If this is left unaddressed, the individual with probably develop feelings of stagnation and boredom
Integrity vs. Despair
A life review occurs to determine whether life is and has been worthwhile
Piaget
- Sensorimotor period
- preoperational period
- concrete operational period
- formal operations
sensorimotor period
- Birth to 1-2 years
- Child learns primary circular reaction; experience the world primarily through their sense and motor capabilities
- Linear, causal, direct interaction with the world; thinking by doing
preoperational period
- 1-7 years
- Begins to learn language skills and incorporate an egocentric view of the world; unable to see from perspectives outside of self
concrete operational period
Can begin to carry our increasingly complex cognitive operations (non-abstract)
formal operations
- 12-18 years
- When an individual can think and respond in an abstract manner
