Application of Ericson Theory to My Development Process Paper In this project, students will interview their parent’s or caretaker(s). This is to gain their perspective of your journey thus far through Erikson’s stages of development, and second, a personal investigation into the journey. This project requires time, thoughtfulness, mindful listening, and ethical conduct. Be prepared to invest time in this.You will explore each stage that you have traveled and explore how you personally resolved the conflict presented in that stage and how that resolution facilitates future stages. For example, the first stage is trust vs. mistrust. Explore with your parents/caretakers the events and circumstances of your first stage. Examine also your past and present issues concerning this stage. Conclude with your own comprehension of your resolution to this stage.Lastly, you will critique Erikson’s stages based on your own personal journey. Does the theory adequately explain your behaviors and choices? Did you have challenges relating to his theory? Where do you position yourself now in his theory? In what way is his theory helpful for developmental psychology? Speak to both weaknesses and strengths of the theory. This is a 4-5-page paper written in APA format, not including the title and resources page. The names of the interviewees will be protected as anonymous. Examples of terms to be used include “Parent 1” or “Caregiver 1.” More information will be given in class with guidelines posted on Canvas. Submit via hard copy in APA format.
