Child Development Theories and Theorists
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)○ The mind contains the id, ego, and superego which
are all in constant conflict.
○ He believed personality developed in a series of psychosexual stages; sexual energy (libido) focused at each stage on a particular part of the body.
○ Trauma during any of the stages resulted in emotional problems in adulthood.

Child Development Theories and TheoristsFive Stages of Psychosexual Development
○ Oral Stage (0-2 years)The mouth is the focus of gratification.
○ Anal Stage (2-3 years)The excretion of bodily waste is the focus; toilet training occurs.
○ Phallic Stage (3-5 years)Pleasure is associated with the genitals. The key task is
identification with the same-sex parent.
○ Latency Stage (5 years-puberty)Sexual gratification becomes less important than exploration, play,
and learning
○ Genital Stage (adolescence)The genitals again become the focus; the key task is formation of
mature sexual relationships.Copyright © Notice: The materials are copyrighted © and trademarked ™ as the property of The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences, Texas Tech University.
Child Development Theories and TheoristsErik Erikson (1902-1994)
○ Psychosocial Theory
○ The child’s need for social approval is more pertinent to healthy development than mastery of sexual gratification urges.
○ He believed identity develops in a series of psychosocial stages across the life span.

Child Development Theories and Theorists
Erikson’s Stages of Life○ Trust vs. Mistrust (0-1 years)
Infants develop a fear or faith in the world depending upon the quality of care they receive.
○ Autonomy vs. Doubt (1-3 years)Children develop self-control and assertion or self-doubt,
depending upon the amount of praise or criticism they receive from adults.
○ Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years)Children make decisions that lead to feelings of initiative or
feelings of guilt, depending upon the level of discouragement they feel and the amount of criticism they receive.

Child Development Theories and TheoristsErikson’s Stages of Life, Cont.
○ Industry vs. Inferiority (puberty, 6-12 years)Children are expected to master skills; criticism of skills can
lead to feelings of self-doubt and inferiority.
○ Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence, 12-18 years)Adolescents are challenged to develop a personal identity
while still fitting in with peers; failure at this stage can result in identity confusion.
○ Intimacy vs. Isolation (early adulthood, 18-35 years)Individuals either experience true intimacy with a partner or
engage in behaviors that isolate themselves from others.

○ Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle age, 35-60 years)Middle-aged adults either attempt to hang on to the past
or move forward with a desire to contribute something to the next generation.
○ Integrity vs. Despair (later adulthood, 60 plus years)Older adults either look back on their lives with a sense
of satisfaction or a sense of despair.

Child Development Theories and Theorists
Ivan PavlovDiscovered the theory of classical conditioning
while experimenting with the salivating behavior of dogs.
Classical conditioning states that when a neutral stimulus previously not associated with a response is paired with a stimulus that already evokes that response, eventually the neutral stimulus will evoke the response on its own.

Child Development Theories and Theorists
John Watson (1878-1958)Used classical conditioning to study how
children learn stimulus-response.
Famous for his demonstration where he used an 11-month-old child named Albert and conditioned him to be afraid of a white rat.
Explains the development of many fears.

Child Development Theories and Theorists
B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)Proposed the theory of operant conditioning; behavior
is influenced by the consequences of actions.
Reinforcement (negative and positive) increases the chances of the behavior being repeated; punishment decreases the chances that a behavior will be repeated.
For example, when a child touches something hot, such as a stove, and feels pain, he or she learns to avoid touching the stove.

Child Development Theories and Theorists
Albert Bandura (1925- )Social Learning Theory
Proposed that children also learn by social learning; observing and imitating the behaviors of others.
Reinforcement and punishment help children to think about which behaviors to imitate.
