Instructions for scrapbook section 2 : Erikson’s psychosocial development

1. On your lecture slides, highlight the id or ego traits that your subject exhibits as a teen or adult for each stage on the chart you have been given. • e.g. you highlight “id trait: mistrustful, shy, or clingy” as trait person has and developed during stage 1 if s/he is mistrustful, shy, clingy as an adult/teen • Written analysis on separate sheet of paper: • Describe what Erikson would say likely happened to the person during each stage that made him/her develop the id or ego trait that he/she did. • e.g. Katrina’s parents likely neglected her when she was an infant so she developed the id trait of mistrust of others. • Give an example of how the person behaves that exemplifies each of the id/ego traits you highlighted. • e.g. “Katrina has had a hard time making friends because she does not trust others. She is shy and pushes people away.” • You must do this analysis for all 8 stages of Erikson’s theory; if your subject has not reached a stage yet, hypothesize what trait he or she will develop in that stage • If you think you had an id trait that has changed to ego, explain! If you had the ego trait, but it changed to the id, explain!! If you think you have both some id and ego from a stage, explain!!
