Question:
Erikson’s first stage, which occurs in the first year of life, focuses on children learning the ability to trust others. They learn whether their needs can be met by others, and insecurities can develop if these attachments are not nurturing. Children then go through three states (autonomy vs. shame/ doubt, initiative vs. guilt, and industry vs. inferiority) that all focus on autonomy and exertion of independence. In adulthood, there is a need to begin to connect with others as part of intimacy vs. isolation.
