3. Erikson’s Psychosocial stages
When parenting supports child’s needs, the 1st year leads to feelings of trust in others
basic trust - when basic needs are met
quality rather than quantity
trust in infancy sets the stage for a lifelong expectation that the world will be a good and pleasant place to live
next 2 years lead to a sense of personal autonomy
resolved favorably when parents provide suitable guidelines and reasonable choices

Harlow and Zimmerman (1957) evaluated whether feeding or contact comfort was more impt to infant attachment
challenged psychological status quo
mothers only as food-delivery systems
