Question: 1 / 400

Who developed the psychosocial stages of development?

Carl Rogers

Jean Piaget

Alfred Adler

Erik Erikson

Erik Erikson developed the psychosocial stages of development, which focuses on eight stages of social and emotional development throughout a person's lifespan. Each stage presents a conflict that must be resolved for a person to develop successfully. Carl Rogers is known for developing the humanistic approach to psychology and did not create any developmental stages. Jean Piaget is known for his cognitive development theory, which focuses on how children construct knowledge through experiences. Alfred Adler's theory focuses on birth order and the effects on personality development, which differs from Erikson's theory. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not pertain to the psychosocial stages of development.
