Successful resolution of a psycho-social crisis at each stage depends upon having more positive than negative experiences in the area of major concern.

Explanation:

Erikson's developmental theory: Erikson (1902-1994), took Freud's psychosexual theory and altered it into eight-stages of psycho-social theory. He was a psychoanalyst and studied human development.

Erikson argued that personality develops through different stages.

1. trust vs. mistrust

2. autonomy vs. shame/doubt

3. initiative vs. guilt

4. industry vs. inferiority

5. identity vs. role confusion

6. intimacy vs. isolation

7. generativity vs. stagnation

8. integrity vs. despair.
