Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development Erikson’s theory consists of 8 stages. Within each stage a crisis must be resolved. This crisis is a major developmental issue that becomes important during a specific time period throughout one’s life. In order to be successful at solving this crisis, one must balance positive and a corresponding negative trait.

Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development In most situations the positive traits prevail. However, Erikson did believe that negative traits are needed as well. Example: In infancy, the crisis is trust vs. mistrust. People need to learn to trust the world around them but in order to do this, they also need to learn about mistrust to protect themselves from danger.
Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development The crisis in this stage is known as identity vs. identity confusion which is also known as role confusion. During this stage adolescents are attempting to make sense of who they are and what their valued role is in society.
Identity Formation Identity is NOT formed by mimicking others. It is formed by taking early assumptions about identity, modifying and synthesizing those ideas into a new structure.
The resolution of three main areas is key to resolving conflicts in identity formation. They are choice of occupation, the adoption of values to live by and believe in and the development of a satisfying sexual identity.
Identity Formation When the crisis in stage 5 is successfully resolved, it is known as fidelity. When this occurs, individuals have developed a sustained loyalty, faith, or a sense of belonging to a loved one or to friends. It can also mean identification with a certain set of values, religious group, political group, etc.
