Freud believed that kids developed by going through psychosexual stages
First stage of psychosexual development is oral stage and it is in kids 0-1
Second stage of psychosexual development is the anal stage and it is in kids 1-3
Third stage of psychosexual development is the phallic stage and it is in kids ages 3-6, and this is where Oedipus complex forms
Fourth stage of psychosexual development is the latent stage and it is in kids ages 6-12 with no sexual motivatipn
Fifth stage of psychosexual development is the genital stage and it is in kids 12 to adult, which leads to adult sexuality
According to Freud, superego forms during the phallic stage of development
According to Freud, if children fail to pass through stages then they experience fixation
Erik Erikson was concerned with stages of psychosocial development
First stage of Erikson's theory is called trust vs. mistrust in the age of 1
Second stage of Erikson's theory is called autonomy vs. doubt in the age of 2
Third stage of Erikson's theory is called initiative vs. guilt and is in the age of 3-5
Fourth stage of Erikson's theory is called industry vs. inferiority and is in the age of 6-12
Fifth stage of Erikson's theory is identity vs. role confusion and is in the age of 12-18
Sixth stage of Erikson's theory is intimacy vs. isolation and is in the age of 18-40
Seventh stage of Erikson's theory is generativity vs. stagnation and it is in the age of 40-65
Eight stage of Erikson's theory is integrity vs. despair and is in the age of 65 and above
Erik Erikson is the most concerned with the development of identity
Identity moratorium is the first step when teenagers in the stage of identity vs. role confusion try to develop a set of identity values
If the person just ends up duplicating identities of others, then it is called identity foreclosure
If person ends up having no sense of identity and no motivation to explore it, it is called identity diffusion
If the person successfully establishes identity, it is called identity achievement
Lev Vygotsky is the most concerned with the performance development
Vygotsky believed that progress happens by spending time in the zone of proximal development: a difficulty level impossible for someone by themselves without the help of coach
Vygotsky's theory is different from Freud and Erickson in a way that it is continuous
Moral development theory was developed by Kohlberg (remember that if you are immoral you get kohl for Christmas)
Level 1 of moral development is called preconventional morality and it has 2 stages: first concerned with avoiding punishments and second is concerned with seeking rewards (on family level)
Level 2 of moral development is called conventional morality and this is where most people are: first stage is avoiding social disapproval and second stage is following rules
Level 3 of moral development is called postconventional morality and it is concerned with stage 1: following social contract and stage 2 following a system of universal ethics
