Development

Your task is to find an individual to interview or interact with; you may select from real life, literature, or pop culture, but you need a good amount of information on that person so a real life human will be easiest.

You need to select a person who you are not immediately sure which stage they are in of Erikson's stages of devt. Remember that Erikson did not believe that a person could not be between stages. Your task is to (1) determine which stage they are in and explain how you came to that conclusion. You also need to explain (2) how you determined that they are either not yet at the next stage and (3) no longer in the previous stage. You may explain how you think that conflicts from previous stages might still be present.

This should be a min of 3 paragraphs, include evidence that is observable. If they are not verbal, you can only include observable behaviors. If they are verbal, include both their thoughts and your observations. Note: you may not ask them what stage they think they are in, you must however ask the participant if you can speak with them for a psychology class assignment.

Any questions, please email me. Assignment due Monday at the start of class. Hardcopy is best, if you must share it as a google doc, please title it with your name just in case your school email still comes up as a bunch of numbers. Gracias!
