Description:

Pulling largely from the Psychologist Erik Erikson's thoughts and work, this piece is a discussion on the stages of psychosocial development in individuals. It identifies the writer as being in Erikson's seventh stage development, which is known as generativist versus stagnation. It explains that development and its mannerisms. It concludes with a discussion of the relevance of such stages and whether this one directly applies to the writer.

Outline:
-Introduction
-Identification of my present Eriksonian Psychosocial stage of development
-Ways in Which My Current Psychosocial Stage of Development (Per Erikson) Influences My Behavior and Relationships
-Explain Both the Positive and Negative Outcomes from the Influence of Your Psychosocial Stage of Development
-How Other Developmental Issues Have Influenced My Personality
-Conclusion

From the Paper:

"One's current stage of development according to Erikson's theory of development is not concrete; however, it is dynamic. Like children, adults mature at different paces, and find their way at differing times. Depending upon one's circumstances, one may develop according to a specific timeline but according to different circumstances. Each individual develops according to schedule. This is one of the most important aspects of lifespan development. My personal present psychosocial stage according to Erikson's theory will be similar to many and divergent with regard to others."
