Answer:

Erik Erikson's theory explains 4. how the actions of society help shape personalities throughout the eight basic stages of life.

Explanation:

Erikson explained that an individual goes through a psychosocial development through his 8 stages of Psychosocial Development. In these he explains that each individual is shaped through his/her interaction with society.

Each stage has 2 conflicting principles which the individual has to solve in order to adequately pass to the next stage. It is also possible that the conflict is not resolved, in which case the individual can feel inadequate.

The stages are:

  1. Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 year old)
  2. Autonomy vs. Shame (1-3 years old)
  3. Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years old)
  4. Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years old)
  5. Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years old)
  6. Intimacy vs. Isolation (20s- early 40s)
  7. Generativity vs. Stagnation (40s- mid 60s)
  8. Integrity vs. Despair (mid 60s- ends of life)
