Erik Erikson and his Eight Stages

Erik Erikson was a researcher who devised a psychosocial theory about personality development being the result of several stages of conflict throughout life.

Even though the conflicts take place in the ego, the conflicts also take place within culture and society itself.

According to Erikson, the resolution of the conflicts at each stage of development help form the personality and how the individual is socialized.
