Concepts of Erikson’s Theory Stage 1 - Trust vs. Mistrust Developing trust is the first task of the ego, it is never complete. The balance of trust and mistrust depends mostly on the quality of the relationship with the child and the caregiver.

Stage 2 - Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt Children That are at this stage are focused on developing a greater sense of self-control. Children at this stage want to be able to contorl what they do and their actions.

Stage 3 - Initiative vs. Guilt children begin to assert their power and control over the world through directing play and other social interaction.

Stage 4 - Industry vs. Inferiority If the child cannot develop the specific skill they feel society is demanding then they may develop a sense of inferiority.

Stage 5 - Identity vs. Role Confusion This stage occurs during the ages of 12 and 18. During this stage, adolescents explore their independence and develop a sense of self

Stage 6 - Intimacy vs. Isolation This stage takes place during young adulthood between the ages of 19 and 40. During this period, the major conflict is on forming intimate, loving relationships with other people.

Stage 7 - Generativity vs. Stagnation This stage takes place during middle adulthood between the ages of 40 and 65. During this time, adults strive to create or nurture things that will outlast them; often by parenting children or contributing to positive changes that benefit other people.

Stage 8 - Ego Integrity vs. Despair Late adulthood is the time that this stage occurs. This involves reflecting on one's life and either moving into feeling satisfied and happy with one's life or feeling a deep sense of regret.
