Question 1 pts
Which theorist or theory describing development do you agree with the
most? Summarize this theory and describe why you agree with it.
Your Answer:
There is not one developmental theorist or theory I particularly agree with,
but the one I find the most interesting is Freud's theory. Freud believed in
psychosexual stages from infancy to adulthood. He stated that
unsuccessful completion of a certain stage would result in a person
becoming fixated on an erogenous part of the body, which in turn leads to
the individual expressing specific personality traits.His theory makes
sense to me. For instance, in the oral stage, the infant is fixated on their
mouth, and as an adult they may become smokers because they
continually seek pleasure to the mouth.
