@kubiopsychology: Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development is a lifespan theory that explains how individuals grow and change psychologically and socially across eight stages of life. Each stage represents a key conflict or challenge—such as trust vs. mistrust in infancy or identity vs. role confusion in adolescence—that must be resolved for healthy development. Success at each stage builds a foundation for the next, while failure can lead to psychological difficulties. The theory emphasizes the role of social relationships and life experiences in shaping personality over time.#psychology #development
