The Developmental Tasks Theory by Robert J. Havighurst

Robert J. Havighurst emphasized that development is continuous
throughout the entire lifespan occurring in stages, where the individual moves from
one stage to the next by means of successful resolution of problems or performance
of developmental tasks.
Havighurst proposed a bio-psychosocial model of development. According to
Havighurst’s Developmental Tasks Theory, the developmental tasks at each stage
are influenced by a person’s biology (physiological maturation and genetic
makeup), his/her psychology (personal values and goals), as well as his/her
sociology (specific culture to which the individual belongs).
