Analyzing Erikson's Stage Of Life

The first person I interviewed is a 19 year old Hispanic female high school student. She is very short and meets criteria to be considered a midget. In regards of the Five-Factor Model described in Craig & Dunn 2013, p. 436, this person is emotionally stable with traits associated with high end. Specifically she is relaxed and very extroverted. In terms of openness to experiences, she described herself very imaginative, creative and intellectual. On the last two factors she identified herself as a warm, friendly, organized, and persistent person clearly showing her transitioning from adolescent to the young adult stage.

Fear of the unknown, and fear of what is to come in our lives, has generations of people wondering what will our lives be like tomorrow or the next day. Death is always there and we cannot escape it. Death is a scary thing. Our own mortality or the mortality of our loved ones scares us to the point that we sometime cannot control how we are dealing with such a thing as the thought of death. Why do we fear such a thing as death? We don’t know what happens after we don’t how it feels. The fear of death is different for most but it is most certain to come and we cannot hide from it. For death is just around the corner and maybe it’s will come tomorrow or the next day! We fear not death but the unknown that comes from death, that is the scariest thing about death.

Death, one of the greatest fears for many human beings, is a somewhat mystified occurrence that is known to cause intense, powerful emotions within people connected to the organism that has died. It is an emotion powerful enough to cause many to fall into a depression for many years.

20 is a strange age, you don’t have the excuse of being a teenager to fall back on but people still treat you like a child. Since high school, I’ve been interested in psychology, a topic many people engage in because as humans, we all naturally try to learn more about ourselves as a whole, but also as individuals. Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development mark the eight points people go through from infancy to elder hood. Based on Erikson’s theory, twenty year olds are at the end of adolescence where we wonder who we are and what we can be, as well as being at the beginning of early adulthood where we have formed most of our identity but are also now trying to find love and where we fit into the world.

Lifespan development is essential, as it is the changes that happen to us throughout a person’s lifespan. Our development occurs at ages stages where we develop from infancy till death.

Erik Erikson is credited with being the first developmental theorists to cover development from birth to end of life (Robbins, Chatterjee, and Canda, 2012). His theory begins by addressing the early developing concepts of trust and autonomy. The theory wraps up by exploring the ideas of successful aging, including the concepts of generativity and integrity (Erikson Handouts, 2017). This paper will explore the last four stages of Erikson’s theory.

The theory of psychosocial development developed by Erik Erikson is one of the best-known theories of personality. Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages and described the impact of social experience across the lifespan. Similar to Sigmund Freud, but unlike Piaget, Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages that are predetermined. Unlike Freud’s theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson’s theory, that of a psychosocial behavior, describes the impact of social experience across the entire lifespan. At each stage of development, Erikson described conflicts that act as turning points in life. This paper will discuss what Erikson’s theories is sheltered instruction, and how they apply to

Thank you for sharing you viewpoint. Interestingly, you base your opinion on Phillipe Aries who suggests, “The negative feelings Westerners have towards death are the result of fear, despair, anticipated pain, and hopelessness of any afterlife (Lee,2009). Additionally, East Asian thoughts about death are more accepting, and they earnestly look forward to the afterlife, unlike Western Culture (Lee, 2009).” Interestingly, Hochschild (1979) suggests “feeling rules are seen as the side of ideology that deals with emotion and feeling.” Therefore, the individual researcher may feel emotions with bias in studying specific events, such as death and dying (Visser, 2017).

Albert Einstein once said “The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there’s no risk of accident for someone who’s dead.” (brainyquote.com) It is said that 68% of U.S citizens fear death, the second highest fear in the U.S behind Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking. (statisticbrain.com) Thanatophobia is known as the fear of death and is distinguished from necrophobia, which is a specific fear of dead or dying person or things. (wikipedia.com) Death is usually associated with pain and suffering. Such as car crashes, explosions, cancer, and illness, nobody ever thinks of a freak accident happening and life ending right then. Everyone has a finite time of life, but will never know when it will be their time to die. You can’t change your fate and you don’t have any way of knowing what it will be. (quora.com)

I feel that when it is your time to go, you are going. That’s really the only belief that I have about death. Explain how level of death anxiety may be impacted by gender, age and mental health. Death anxiety in gender, women tend to have higher death anxiety scores than men on self-report scales. This does not mean that women get excited over everything it’s just that men usually tend not to show any emotional feelings about an emotional situation. Death anxiety in age, death anxiety is higher in adolescents and early adulthood. Then it decreases as we settle in life and by the time we get old anxiety gets higher again, by the time you reach seventy your anxiety will go back down. By this time in life you start looking forward to death. Most of your friends maybe dead already, your parents, siblings, and spouse by this time may already be deceased so in a way you have embraced death at this point. Death anxiety in mental health and illness, death anxiety is higher in people with diagnosed psychiatric conditions. Selective attention is when you have so much going on and you get distracted. You are not trying to avoid anything your mind is just on somewhere else. Selective response is when a person has thoughts about death but they choose who they want to talk to about it. Compartmentalizing is when you realize and understand that he is in a life-threatening situation and choose to respond to some aspects of the illness. Deception is when someone

The thought of how death will come to us is enough to overwhelm and disturb us. We sometimes think about how we will die. We are left with no answers because there are many ways in which it can occur. An example would be when we see in the news that a young boy was murdered and compare that to an elderly man passing away in his sleep. We become shocked and disturbed by the fact that someone with so much ahead of them had a spontaneous painful death. We start to feel like that can be our fate as well. It is the way in which it happens that also disturbs us, the pain and suffering that often lead to death can make us cringe. Many can agree that we would much rather die in our sleep than have a slow painful death. The point is that no one knows when and how they are going to die and

Phrases such as “you are turning into your mother” or “that’s so something mom would say/do,” have become increasingly more common with each passing year of my life. I have come to accept the fact that not only do my mother and I favor in appearance, but also in many behavioral way as well. My mother recently turned 46, and I chose her as my person of interest because it is the closest I will ever get to interviewing my future self. As well as I know my mother, I have never had the opportunity to analyze her development and her current stage of life. It is amazing what one can learn and take away from a few simple questions when they are based on theory, especially Erikson’s.

I’m shore over time she will keep practicing and soon will be very good in her development, but for right now some recommendation i would have are since her social development show so much potential she is very outgoing and once she knows who you are she will start talking and interacting with you. The one area she needs help in is large group and sometimes small group discussions some suggestion I would give is maybe having some play dates with a couple of new people showing her she can make new friends and can get into the group's activities and talking when in a group. Another thing that could be done is having a little interview as a large group going around and asking question that way everyone in the class get to really know everyone
