According to Erikson, what does the Ego develop through?

  • Cognitive learning

  • Behavioral reinforcement

  • Psychosocial crises

  • Physical maturation

Answer

According to Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the ego develops through a series of eight psychosocial crises. Each crisis presents an individual with a challenge that must be overcome in order to progress to the next stage of development. Successful resolution of these crises leads to a healthy sense of self and the ability to form meaningful relationships, while unsuccessful resolution can result in psychological difficulties.
