Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development

HE HYPOTHESIZED THAT PEOPLE PASS THROUGH EIGHT PSYCHOSOCIAL STAGES IN THEIR LIFETIMES.

ERIK ERIKSON

Achieving autonomy (18 months to 3 years)

Autonomy versus doubt

Erikson suggests that even while giving a hand, parents should permit children at this level to explore freely and do things for themselves.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

They frequently engage in activities that allow them to practice skills required by their culture.

LATE CHILDHOOD

successful as their peers.

Biographies of people who succeeded.

Realistic fiction about people who overcame hardships.

Establishing identity (12 to 18 years)

Identity versus Role Confusion

Adolescents grapple with the question of who they will become as well as the question of who they are.

ADOLESCENCE

AdolescenceRealistic fiction about

teenagers searching for identity – where the

characters’ fears and joys are evident

throughout as they strive to discover themselves and to

experience success.

Self-concept Theory What you think of yourself is your self-concept.

Family, peers and teachers play a significant role in the formation of a child’s self-concept.

Factors such as the mother’s use of library, reading materials in the home, and the father’s occupational level affect the child’s concept as a reader and towards reading.

According to self-concept theory… Children with feelings of adequacy, self-

confidence and self-reliance tend to be good readers.

Harris(1980) suggests that painful emotional events during early efforts at reading may turn the young learner against reading.

Canfield’s Poker-Chip Theory A child with a positive self-concept is

like a poker player with plenty of chips while a child with negative self-concept has very few chips, if at all.

Self-concept and risk-taking

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

The teacher who is willing to go very slowly at first is often rewarded by accelerated progress later.

Without success in reading, success in almost any other area becomes improbable, if not impossible.
