Erickson’s Psychosocial Development Across the Life Span

SLO: Human Development – The student will examine and draw conclusions on human development

across the lifespan.

Directions: Interview someone whom you think is either in Erikson’s integrity vs. despair or generativity

vs. stagnation stage. Explain to the person that you are conducting the interview as an assignment to

compare a person’s experiences to developmental stages created by theorist Erik Erikson. Some

questions are personal, do not pressure the interviewee to answer questions they may not be

comfortable discussing. Feel free to elaborate on or include additional questions during your interview.

Ask the interviewee the following questions:

1. As a baby, do you suspect your needs were taken care of (ex. changed, bathed, fed, held)?

Overall, do you sense that things seem to work out in the end or is the world a dangerous place?

2. As a young child, were you encouraged to be independent and do things on your own like

dressing yourself, tying your own shoes, cleaning up after yourself, or were things usually done

for you?

3. What type of discipline did your caregivers use with you? Were they strict? Did they hold

elevated expectations of you? How did they communicate with you? How did they express love

towards you? Did they share consequences for your behaviors, and did you understand them?

Were your caregivers predictable or inconsistent? Explain.

4. As a child, were you involved in school, sports, community activities, and clubs? What were your

responsibilities at home? Did you have chores? Babysit siblings?

5. As a teen, would you give yourself a label? Jock? Nerd? Outcast? Popular? Etc.… How did you

come to decide on your future lifestyle, career, or occupation?

6. If you have been involved in a long-term romantic partnership, at what age did you engage in

your first committed relationship? Have you had multiple committed relationships throughout

your life?

7. How do you find purpose and fulfillment in your life? Will you help future generations? If so,

how?

8. When you reflect on your life, do you have a sense of satisfaction that you lived in a way that

brought fulfillment to your life or do you wish you had made different choices?

9. From your knowledge and experiences, what advice would you offer to younger generations

about life?

10. What do you do to care for your body, mind, and heart?
