Development Psychology

 Chapter 3 discusses emotional development and regulation in infancy.  Erikson proposes that individuals navigate the psychosocial crisis of Autonomy versus shame and doubt between the age range of eighteen months to three years of age.  1.) Define “autonomy” and “shame and doubt” using your own words as it relates to this psychosocial crisis.  Why are these tasks important during this developmental period. Provide support for your stance.  2.) How do you typically manage negative and/or positive emotion(s)?  3.) How might your early experiences have influenced your style of emotional self-regulation? Think about your caregiver(s) parenting style and be sure to identify the style based upon the four different attachment styles discussed in Chapter Three. Responses must be at minimum three paragraphs.
