In this paper you will learn about the eight stages of the Psychosocial Development, Piaget's versus Erikson's Theory, and Lev Vygotsky's Social Constructivism Theory. First, I will provide information on the psychosocial stage of development. Next, you will learn about the Erikson model describing the current stage of development. Then you will learn about the current psychosocial stage development that influences behavior and relationships. After that you will learn about the positive and negative outcomes in the stage of development. Last, you will learn about how the development issues influence my personality, Piaget's versus Erikson's Theory, and Lev Vygotsky's Social Constructivism Theory.

Piaget's versus Erikson's stage summarized the theories that Erikson provided. Erikson theory said that the first 18 months of life is where a major development would take place. The child will first develop a sense of trust. This trust will help the child
