Question

Erik Erikson, a pioneer in the area of human growth and development, developed an eight stage model of individual development. The first five stages focus on individual skill and identity development. The last three stages focus on _________.

Answer 1

The answer is interpersonal development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interpersonal development refers to establishing relationships between ourselves and other people.

Erikson's psyhosocial model ranges from birth to death. The first five stages alone focus on childhood and adolescence. The first stage, for example, is called Trust vs. Mistrust, in which children must learn to trust adults. The final three stages focus on adulthood and old age. In the last stage, called Integrity vs. Despair, older adults examine their lives and should feel a sense of satisfaction after realising they've been productive members of society.
