The concept of eight stages refers to the theory of psychosocial development proposed by Erik Erikson, which outlines a series of psychological and social challenges that individuals encounter from birth to late adulthood.
This is the first stage in Erikson's theory, where infants develop trust or mistrust towards their caregivers based on consistent care and responsiveness.
Identity vs. Role Confusion: This is the fifth stage, during adolescence, where individuals explore different roles and form their sense of identity.
The final stage in Erikson's theory, occurring in late adulthood, where individuals reflect on their lives and either feel a sense of fulfillment (integrity) or regret (despair).
