Instructions Review Eriksons Psychosocial Theory on the development of personality throughout the lifespan. Then you will write a paper in which you explore your own personality development using the stages outlined by Erikson as your theoretical framework. You will begin with the first stage Erikson outlined, and move through each state (in-order) until you reach your current stage of development. In your exploration of each stage, please be sure to address each of the writing points below. Writing Points Briefly introduce the stage and explain the main crisis of that stage in your own words. You will need to explore the stage of development, common ages or experiences associated with the stage, the crisis associated with that stage, and the resolution needed to end the crisis. Be sure to cite your text and/or other scholarly resources as needed. Share memories from your own life that illustrate the stage and the associated crisis. Be sure to go into enough depth that is clear to your reader how the memory explains that stage of development. Your paper should be 2-4 pages long, not including a title page and references. You are to use scholarly, peer-reviewed sources throughout the paper and you must adhere to APA style and formatting guidelines.
