About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development theory, focusing on the eight distinct stages of human development from infancy through late adulthood. Designed for grades 9-12, the assessment requires students to demonstrate both factual knowledge and analytical application of developmental psychology concepts. Students must understand the fundamental structure of Erikson's theory, including the conflict-based nature of each stage where individuals face critical turning points that shape their psychological development. The questions demand higher-order thinking as students analyze real-world scenarios and match them to appropriate developmental stages, requiring deep comprehension of concepts like trust versus mistrust in infancy, autonomy versus shame and doubt in early childhood, and generativity versus stagnation in middle adulthood. Students need to grasp how successful resolution of each stage contributes to healthy psychological development and understand the specific virtues that emerge from positive outcomes at each level. Created by Ashley Minnick, a Social Studies teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This assessment serves as an excellent tool for evaluating student mastery of developmental psychology within a high school psychology or human development curriculum. The quiz works effectively as a summative assessment following instruction on Erikson's theory, though it can also function as formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to more complex developmental theories. Teachers can deploy this as homework to reinforce learning, use it for review sessions before major exams, or implement it as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before exploring case studies or applications. The varied question formats, from basic recall to scenario analysis, make this assessment valuable for differentiating instruction and supporting diverse learning needs. This quiz aligns with standards focusing on psychological theories and human development, particularly those emphasizing the ability to analyze and apply developmental concepts to real-world situations.
