What did Erikson believe could happen during each psychosocial stage?

  • Personality fixation

  • Virtue development

  • Cognitive delay

  • Biological regression

Answer

Virtue development, arising from successfully navigating psychosocial stages described by Erikson, encapsulates the positive character traits and strengths acquired throughout the lifespan. Each stage involves a conflict or challenge that, when met with competence and resolution, leads to the development of specific virtues. These virtues become building blocks for personal growth, contributing to a well-rounded and resilient personality.
