Elaborated on the developmental tasks theory in the most systematic and extensive matter
Robert J. Havighurst
Is continuous throughout the entire lifespan, occurring in stages, where the individual moves from one stage to the next by means of successful resolution of problems or performance of developmental tasks.
Development
This theory presents the individual as an active learner who continually interacts with a similarly active social environment
Developmental task theory
proposed a bio psychosocial model of development, wherein the developmental tasks at each stage are influenced by the individual’s biology (physiological maturation and genetic makeup), his psychology (personal values and goals) and sociology (specific culture to which the individual belongs).
Havighurst
