Freud's psychosexual theory proposed that human development occurs in stages focused on different erogenous zones, each with associated conflicts. Key stages included the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages. Erikson's psychosocial theory also outlined stages of development across the lifespan, but focused on social and cultural influences. Erikson identified 8 stages from infancy to late adulthood, each involving a central conflict between two opposing outcomes that impact identity and psychological well-being. Both theories have been influential but also faced criticism regarding reliance on unconscious concepts and determinism.

Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics PROFESSOR II Western Mindanao State University ericson.alieto@wmsu.edu.ph Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Developmental Theory is a foundational framework in psychology that proposes that human development occurs in stages, each characterized by a focus on different erogenous zones and associated conflicts. These stages are crucial in shaping an individual's personality and behavior. Oral Stage (0-1 year): • Focus: Mouth and oral activities (sucking, biting). • Key Conflict: Weaning from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. • Outcomes: • Fixation: Oral-dependent personality traits (e.g., dependence, oral fixation). • Resolution: Successful resolution leads to the development of trust and the ability to form secure relationships. Anal Stage (1-3 years): • Focus: Anus and control over bowel movements. • Key Conflict: Toilet training and control over elimination. • Outcomes: • Fixation: Anal-retentive or anal-expulsive personality traits (e.g., orderliness or messiness). • Resolution: Successful resolution leads to the development of self- control and a sense of order Phallic Stage (3-6 years): • Focus: Genitals and exploration of one's own body. • Key Conflict: Oedipus (boys) and Electra (girls) complexes, involving sexual attraction to the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same- sex parent. • Outcomes: • Fixation: Phallic personality traits, such as vanity, jealousy, or competitiveness. • Resolution: Successful resolution involves identifying with the same-sex parent and developing a healthy gender identity. Latency Stage (6-12 years): • Focus: Sexual impulses are dormant. • Key Characteristics: Focus on social and cognitive development, friendships, and learning. • Outcomes: The resolution of earlier conflicts allows for healthy psychological development and the acquisition of social skills. Genital Stage (Adolescence-Adulthood): • Focus: Genitals and mature sexual relationships. • Key Conflict: Reawakening of sexual desires and the pursuit of romantic and sexual relationships. • Outcomes: • Fixation: Successful resolution leads to the ability to form healthy, mature relationships. • Failure to resolve conflicts may result in difficulties in forming intimate relationships. It's important to note that Freud's theory has faced criticism and has been largely replaced by more contemporary theories of development. Critics argue that it relies heavily on unconscious and unverifiable concepts, and it places too much emphasis on early childhood experiences as determinants of personality. Nonetheless, Freud's ideas have had a lasting impact on psychology and continue to be influential in the field of psychoanalysis. Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Developmental Theory is a comprehensive framework that outlines the stages of human development across the lifespan. Unlike Freud's psychosexual theory, Erikson's theory focuses on the psychosocial aspects of development, emphasizing the social and cultural influences on a person's identity and the challenges individuals face at different stages of life. Erikson identified eight stages of psychosocial development, each associated with a specific conflict or crisis that individuals must navigate to achieve healthy development. Trust vs. Mistrust (Infancy, 0-1 year): • Central Conflict: Establishing trust in the world through consistent and reliable caregiving. • Positive Outcome: Trust and confidence in others and the world. • Negative Outcome: Mistrust, fear, and insecurity. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (Early Childhood, 1-3 years): • Central Conflict: Developing a sense of independence and autonomy while learning to control bodily functions. • Positive Outcome: Autonomy, self-confidence, and the ability to make choices. • Negative Outcome: Shame, doubt, and a lack of self-esteem. Initiative vs. Guilt (Preschool, 3-6 years): • Central Conflict: Exploring the environment and taking on new challenges, while learning to manage impulses and guilt. • Positive Outcome: Initiative, a sense of purpose, and the ability to set and pursue goals. • Negative Outcome: Guilt, inhibition, and fear of taking risks. Industry vs. Inferiority (Elementary School, 6-12 years): • Central Conflict: Developing competence in social, academic, and extracurricular activities. • Positive Outcome: Industry, a sense of accomplishment, and self-esteem. • Negative Outcome: Inferiority, feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence, 12-18 years): • Central Conflict: Forming a clear sense of self, identity, and purpose. • Positive Outcome: Identity, a strong sense of self, and the ability to make long-term commitments. • Negative Outcome: Role confusion, identity crisis, and uncertainty about one's place in the world. Intimacy vs. Isolation (Young Adulthood, 18-40 years): • Central Conflict: Establishing deep and meaningful relationships with others. • Positive Outcome: Intimacy, love, and lasting relationships. • Negative Outcome: Isolation, loneliness, and difficulty forming close connections. Generativity vs. Stagnation (Middle Adulthood, 40-65 years): • Central Conflict: Contributing to the well-being of future generations through work, parenthood, and community involvement. • Positive Outcome: Generativity, a sense of purpose, and a lasting legacy. • Negative Outcome: Stagnation, feelings of unproductiveness and dissatisfaction. Integrity vs. Despair (Late Adulthood, 65+ years): • Central Conflict: Reflecting on life and accepting its meaning and value. • Positive Outcome: Integrity, wisdom, and a sense of fulfillment. • Negative Outcome: Despair, regret, and bitterness. Erikson's theory emphasizes that successful resolution of each stage's conflict contributes to healthy psychological development and the ability to progress to the next stage with a well-formed identity and a positive outlook on life. However, unresolved conflicts can lead to developmental challenges and hinder psychological well-being. Erikson's theory has been influential in understanding human development and identity formation throughout the lifespan.
