Psychosocial development incorporates the behavioral advancement of an individual from childhood to adulthood. According to Erikson, personality development is based on the attitudes developed by each individual. The concept displayed by Erickson shows that two people in the same age group can present completely different character traits while reacting to similar life situations. Moreover, the manner in which a person carries himself through one stage determines the success of the succeeding stage. Erickson asserts that there is a crisis at the end of every stage as a person transits to the next stage.

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

Behind, No Child Left. No Child Left Behind. Conference report to accompany HR Rep, 2006.

The states that have adopted the no child left behind program have implemented other standards to evaluate their systems such as how many students enrolled to college etc. The waiver removes the term failed from low performing schools and names them, and also focuses on improving the bottom 5 performing schools. The standards of the policy have been so stiff that there has been extremely low performance in various states, e.g. Massachusetts had 80% of schools did not meet the standards of improvement even after improved test performance rendering it senseless to term all of them failures. The wavering ...

(1) Data analytics and the big data movement both seeks to use data collected to gain competitive business advantages over a company’s competitors. However, three major differences floats out. First, dig data recognizes the fact that the volume of data from gathered from numerous devices like the internet or mobile devices of companies increases exponentially everyday. With big data, the ability to measure the amount of data will pave way to data better data management. Second, it recognizes that velocity of data created is as important or even more important than the amount of data gathered. Because of the ...

In today’s society, athletes have been using different types of drugs to enhance their performance. But, the excessive use of drugs has a negative impact on the health and wellness of these athletes.

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Application of Erikson’s Post-Freudian Theory

Introduction

Erik Erikson’s’ views make significant contributions to the field of psychology; this is particularly in the understanding of personality development and related factors. An understanding of his own study of personal development creates an understanding of development of his psychology (Fleming, 2004). Most of Erikson’s psychology work became evident in the post-Freudian era. It was between the 1930s and 1950s; being one of Freud’s students, most of his work exhibit the influence of Freudian views and theories; this was mainly in the field of personality development. However, dissimilar from Freud’ ...

Since ancient times, the elusive concept of wisdom has figured prominently in philosophical and religious texts. The question remains compelling: What is wisdom, and how does it play out in individual lives? Most psychologists agree that if you define wisdom as maintaining positive well-being and kindness in the face of challenges, it is one of the most important qualities one can possess to age successfully — and to face physical decline and death. Vivian Clayton, a geriatric neuropsychologist in Orinda, Calif., developed a definition of wisdom in the 1970s, when she was a graduate student, that has served as a foundation for research ...

Introduction

According to Jowett & O’Donnell (1), propaganda is a method of communication which tries to elicit a response that propagates the desired intention of the propagandist. The art of propaganda has been studied in an array of multidisciplinary researches in the fields of journalism, sociology, history, political science and psychology. To study the art of propaganda as history means examining propagandist practices as distinct events and the resultant events as likely effects of propaganda. Nazi films were predominantly propagandist in that they aimed at influencing attitudes on life in a given context, and in terms of particular people and events. Perhaps the ...

In this paper, I will discuss a challenge I’m currently facing in life in accordance to Erik Erikson’s psychosocial stages. Scholars like Erik Erikson have attempted to provide the theoretical basis of different human development stages. According to Erikson (2013), social interaction is the leading determinant of human behavior and the advancement of personality. Erikson (1959) posits that this process has eight stages. According to his theory, humans are expected to resolve their problems and are thus given a window through which they have to resolve their crises. The results, irrespective of whether they are successful or not are ...

The human development stages include psychosocial, systemic, psychodynamic, existential/gestalt and cognitive stages. Development occurs throughout a lifespan of a human being. Development of any human being begins at the earliest stage which is the prenatal stage and it goes on to after a child is born to adulthood. Psychosocial stage is best presented by Erik Erikson’s theory (Cherry, 2014). It best explains how personalities are acquired through a series of stages by describing how a person’s social experiences impact his/her lifespan. Ego identity development is one of the key elements of Erikson’s theory of psychosocial stage. This ego identity is ...

Project management is a core practice in modern businesses. However, most managers do not understand the significance of this strategic business management practice. Project management is a helpful practice in business because it allows managers to plan for the project (Tria, 2003, p. 3; Dash, 2002, p.127; Ferdows, 2006, p. 8). Through planning, a manager allocates the available resources. Planning is necessary because of the scarcity of resources. Project management enables an organization to execute a plan successfully without making grievous mistakes. A project that goes through all stages of project management can hardly fail (Thamhain, 2012, p. 10). Therefore, project management ...

Abstract

The theories of psychosocial development stress that an individual’s personality is enhanced by social relationships he or she develops from birth to adulthood. These are explained by Erik Erickson’s eight stage theories that describe the conflicts and achievements that present the turning points in an individual’s life. From birth to old age, an individual establishes a sense of trust in others, develops one’s identity in society, and helps the next generation learn skills in preparation for the future. Erickson asserted that in all stages, an individual learns to grow and develop throughout adulthood in a fixed order ...

Introduction

Every child’s development process is unique and complex. Even though children normally develop through predictable levels and milestones, they may at times not proceed through these steps at the same pace. Usually, a child’s development process is largely influenced by his or her environmental factors and the experiences that they gather from it. Understanding the child development is vital because it allows us to appreciate the emotional, social, physical, cognitive and educational progress of the child at a particular level of their growth into adulthood. Various theories attempt to describe every aspect of child development and largely focuses on ...

Among the many problems plaguing society today, one of the most prominent is hunger. Every day, all over the world, people are starving because there is not enough to eat.

The universe has never run out of wonderful mysteries, and perhaps one of the greatest mysteries that we will never grow weary of exploring is the mystery of life.

This background and context only makes more interesting another one of those mysteries of the universe that we have ...

The growing plethora on the debate regarding the act of compensating collegiate student athletes has interest not only sports aficionados, the academe but the society in general. Many people question the practice as somewhat inappropriate and a precursor to encouraging the youth to lose focus on their academics and their primary purpose for education. Many believe that students are being lured to participate in sports because of the financial reward that they can get from becoming a student athlete. Thus, students’ priorities are divided because of this practice. In addition, many assumes that when a student deemed that the rewards of athletic ...

Connection to Play Experiences

Psychology is a complex subject, often coinciding with constructs of sociology. Many psychologists have lent their theories to sociology in an effort to explain how units of people bind together and why people act the way they do. One unit in particular is a family, and the roles they fill are sometimes known as gender roles. Sigmund Freud has very precise views on gender roles, sexuality, and how it impacted the family unit. For example, Freud believed that women lived in constant envy of men. Erik Erikson also had theories on gender roles, beginning in childhood, involved role confusion. His theories ...

Children become who they are as adults according to validating experiences they have in childhood. If they grow in an environment full of love and support, then they develop skills and competencies that will help them become well-balanced and functioning adults. However, if their upbringing is wrought with negativity and without the emotional and physical support needed to develop them into responsible children or adults, then the children turn out to be insecure individuals. Children develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments when they receive encouragement support for their initiatives, while they develop feelings of inferiority when they do ...

Biological underpinnings for recovery models in substance abuse, as applied to a specific life stage according to Erikson’s or Vaillant’s theoretical stages.

According to Erik Erikson’s theories of human development stages, it categories adulthood into three distinct stages. These include the earliest stage of adulthood (young), the stage between the final and the young ...

1.0 Introduction The study of human development remains widely varied and complex, thus giving rise to many debates, controversies and issues. As each developmental theory tries to explain a limited area of development, the end result is a wide range of competing theoretical views leading to a major controversial issue of continuity vs. discontinuity. At the core of the controversy is whether human development is solely and evenly continuous or it consists of age-specific stages. The proponents, for instance the environmental or behavioral theorists, of the continuous model believe that development is a linear increase in abilities and competences that is smooth ...

In the last century, psychoanalysis has incorporated itself as one of the paramount disciplines within the field of psychiatry. The father of psychoanalysis is unequivocally Sigmund Freud; and while the science of psychoanalysis has advanced far beyond Freud, and his basic principles, his influence is still strong and pervasive. Freud’s basic principles are central in the practice of psychiatry and in psychotherapeutic practice; namely, psychic determination, unconscious mental activity, and the effects on childhood on the development of our adult psyche (Semple, Smyth, Burns, Darjee, & McIntosh, 2005). Freud also focused on the role of meaning in his vision ...

Part 1

There are very low chances for a flood of more magnitude than that of 1990 to occur. The probability of occurrence of the 1990 flood was 0.06. This indicates that probability of occurrence of the flood in the year was substantially low. 6/100 is a substantially low frequency. This means that, probability of occurrence of a greater flooding than this is insignificantly low because it is less than six percent, hence, it is negligible. A flood of a greater magnitude than that of 1990 is unexpected; this is an important point to consider in determining what prevention measures are worth implementing in the ...

Abstract

The paper discusses infantile amnesia – the phenomenon of the inability of adults to recollect any memory before the rough age of three years. The science behind the phenomenon is brain development. However brain development theory is being questioned today for its inability to explain a few aspects of childhood memory.

Other psychologists meanwhile believe that language development holds the key to the explanation behind infantile amnesia. The paper also discusses the concept of identity and focuses on some empirical results that have been developed to prove the ...

Development is defined as the movement from one situation to another. Change is understood to have a permanent impact. One of the most significant ways of explaining the idea of development is through the fact that people undergo various development stages. People make systematic headway in a specific order through several phases. Step by step they reach certain adult status. This change can be observed through involvement of advancements in physical and intellectual powers. People undergo changes in expertise, intelligence and reasoning ability (Sigelman, & Rider, 2011).

Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson are two fundamental basics of discussion, research, and theory when discussing child development and psychology. Before Freud came to the United States, ‘talk therapy’ was not even something that was used here, but was becoming popular in Europe. This concept was fought as a controversial technique in the United States, but Freud was determined, and it is now the basic and most common type of therapy in psychiatry today. Erikson focused more on child development, which is a growing field of research today. Children are not merely little adults, but function in a very different way. ...

Personality theories A theory can be defined as a theory of reality which helps in understanding, explaining, predicting and controlling that reality. A theory can also be defined as a guide to action.

This feature of personality is referred to as individual differences. As it is evident, some people are neurotic, others are not, and others are more introverted while other people are more extroverted and so on. Erik Erikson and Sigmund Freud are some of ...
