Verified step by step guidance

Erikson's stages of psychosocial development are a series of eight stages that span from infancy to adulthood, each characterized by a specific conflict that individuals must resolve to develop a healthy personality.

During infancy, Erikson identified the stage of 'Trust vs. Mistrust.' This stage occurs from birth to approximately 18 months of age.

In the 'Trust vs. Mistrust' stage, infants learn to trust their caregivers and the environment when their needs are consistently met, such as feeding, comfort, and affection.

If caregivers are responsive and reliable, infants develop a sense of trust, feeling secure and confident in the world around them. Conversely, inconsistent care can lead to mistrust, resulting in feelings of insecurity and fear.

Understanding this stage is crucial for recognizing the importance of nurturing and responsive caregiving during infancy, which lays the foundation for future stages of development.
