Answer 1

Comparison of Freuds and Erikson's theories on human development.

• Sigmund Freuds theory is known as psychosexual theory of development. According to this theory there are five major developmental stages. They are oral stage, anal stage, phallic stage, latency stage and genital stage. Children come accross various conflicts in each of these stages and a proper resolving of these conflicts are very important. This theory overemphasized the influence of sexual feelings in development.
• Whereas Erik Erikson's theory focused more on the influence of social aspects in human development. According to Erikson egi acquires attitudes and skills that makes an individual an active contributing member of the society. According to Erikson there are eight stages of development Basic trust v/s Mistrust., autonomy v/s shame, initiative v/s guilt, industry v/s inferiority, identity v/s roleconfusion, intimacy v/s iscolation, generativity v/s stagnation and integrity v/s despair. This theory focused mainly on peoples desire to affiliate with others in contrast to freuds view of sexula desire as peoples primary motivation.
