This assignment has 2 parts be sure to read the instructions carefully. 

Rhona Ochse and Cornelis Plug’s Self-Report Questionnaire helps students look at personality development associated with Erikson’s 7 stages of psychosocial development.

Erickson says personality development follows a sequence of stages and in each stage there is a conflict that happens between the “newly emerging personality needs and social demands and culminates in a crisis” that is a “turning point in development.” (p. 23)

First- take the provided questionnaire below (or have another person take this questionnaire) and score it to see which of Erickson’s stages scores high and is related to well-being in that area. (p. 23). Then score the questionnaire. be sure to know the different instructions with the *. (10 points)

Second- answer the following questions in a 1 page typed paper on the following after taking the above questionnaire or giving the questionnaire to someone else to take. You do NOT need to submit your individual answers from the questionnaire Make sure to number each of the responses to the 3 questions so I can easily find your answers on your paper. 

1. What stage did you or the person excel in or get the most points in and why do you think you or he/she did well in this area. If you are getting this information from another person, ask them about this stage and why they think they did well. Think about what is expected for this stage according to Erickson.(10 points)

2. What stage did they struggle in or not get as many points in? Why do you think you or he/she did not do as well in this area? It maybe because this person is younger and has not reached that developmental stage yet in life. As the person you are interviewing about this what he/she thinks about this. Think about what is expected for this stage according to Erickson.(10 points)

3. What have you learned from giving this questionnaire or from taking it yourself about Erikson’s stages and the stages that a person follows as he/she develops in life. Give at least two things you learned.  If you need to quote something from the textbook or another source make sure to footnote it or use end noted!!!!! (20 points)
