Question

Discuss each of Erikson’s crises, describe the two options, when in the life it is experienced, and connect it to another theory or piece of research we discussed at that same point in the lifespan. (For example, when we discussed the trust vs. mistrust, we connected it to the idea of attachment and talked about how if the infant is securely attached, it will probably develop trust and if the infant is insecurely attached it will probably develop a sense of mistrust.) You must do this for each of the 8 stages in Erikson’s model. Be specific and fully discuss the connection between the crisis and this other theory or finding.
