Sure, here's a brief description of each stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory:1. Trust vs. Mistrust: Infants learn to trust caregivers for basic needs, forming a sense of security or mistrust if needs aren't met.2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt: Toddlers develop independence through exploration, leading to autonomy or feelings of shame and doubt if restrained or criticized.3. Initiative vs. Guilt: Preschoolers begin asserting control over their environment, fostering initiative or experiencing guilt if their efforts are discouraged.4. Industry vs. Inferiority: School-aged children strive for competence in tasks, fostering industry or feelings of inferiority if they perceive their efforts as inadequate.5. Identity vs. Role Confusion: Adolescents explore personal identities, forming a coherent sense of self or experiencing confusion and uncertainty about their roles and values.6. Intimacy vs. Isolation: Young adults seek meaningful relationships, leading to intimacy or feelings of isolation if they struggle to form close connections.7. Generativity vs. Stagnation: Middle-aged adults focus on contributing to society and future generations, fostering a sense of purpose or experiencing stagnation if they feel unproductive.8. Integrity vs. Despair: Older adults reflect on their lives, achieving a sense of wisdom and acceptance or experiencing despair and regret over missed opportunities.
