    Assignment 2: LASA 1: Development Throughout the Lifespan
    Erikson and Freud are two of the few theorists who have developed a lifespan approach to development. Freuds approach to development was psychosexual while Eriksons was psychosocial. Even though Freuds theory is better known Eriksons theory remains a leading and very much applied model in personality and developmental psychology today.
    When considering these two stage-oriented theories you can directly compare the majority of their stages. These are matched in the following table:
    When considering Erikson’s eight stages of development the way a person moves through each stage directly affects their success in the next stage. Their personality is being built and shaped with each stage. At each stage there is a turning point called a crisis by Erikson which a person must confront.
    In this assignment you will observe or interview two different people each at a different stage of development. For a third observation take a look at yourself and the stage that you are in (this stage must be different from your other two observations).
