ERIKSON'S EIGHT STAGES OF Definition
Section 16
PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Map
At this period, teenagers seek a sense of self
and self-identity by intensively exploring their
values, beliefs, and interests.
Adolesence
I had always dreamed of being a
doctor since I was a child, but I
asked myself when I was in senior
high school. And when I evaluated
myself, I knew that I could not be
happy in the medical course.
This is an example because...
For a long time, I believe I wanted to be a
doctor, but when my relatives found out, they
put pressure on me to do so. That's why I didn't
try to choose another course until I assessed
my abilities and interests. And now, even though
people say architecture is difficult, I know I'll
love this course a lot better now that I've
identified what I truly desire.
ages 12-18
When I was 12 years old my parents
let me decide on the clothes I want
to wear.
This is an example because...
I have tried so many styles and
outfits that can reflect who I am. And
now I think I know my own style and it
made me more confident in going to public
places. Also I gained independence
throughout this experience.
IDENTITY
COHESION
It includes experiences, perceptions, and
memories, which create the subjective
self-sense of a person. Identity offers
self-similarity, distinctiveness,
psychological development.
ROLE
CONFUSION
Confusion might be restricted to people
who cannot discover and try various
personas.
FIDELITY
Success will lead to this virtue at this
period.
When I was in junior high school I did
quite rebel from my parents
This is an example because...
There are things that I don't
understand and there is this 'why'
questions that is running inside my
mind. But then after that period of
my life it made me realized many
things in life.
