UTS Essay 3
Discuss the following answer to the questions below. Please refer to the rubrics before
answering the questions.
1. What theory of personality do you think explains the development of our personalities
the best? Why?
Eric Erikson's eight-step theory of human development is one of the most well-
known theories in psychology and for me, this theory explains the development of our
personalities the best. Erikson focused on how social relationships affect personality
development. The theory also extends beyond childhood and sees lifelong
development. Eric Erikson was an ego psychologist trained by Anna Freud. His theory
of psychosocial stages explains how personality develops in the course of life. Like
Freud, some aspects of Erikson's theory are considered obsolete by modern scholars,
but his eight-step evolutionary theory remains popular and influential.
