Paper For Above instruction

Erik Erikson, a renowned developmental psychologist, viewed learning as a lifelong process intertwined with psychosocial development rather than merely acquiring knowledge or skills. According to Erikson, personality development occurs through a series of social crises that challenge individuals to develop specific virtues, such as trust, autonomy, initiative, and identity. Learning, in his perspective, is thus embedded within the resolution of these crises, which shape an individual's sense of self and capacity for problem-solving. For Erikson, effective learning involves overcoming these psychosocial challenges in a manner that fosters healthy development and adaptive functioning (Erikson, 1950s).

He emphasized that early experiences heavily influence a person's ability to learn later in life. When individuals encounter unresolved crises, such as mistrust or identity confusion, their capacity for constructive learning can be hindered. The boy in the movie episode faces a life crisis—likely related to identity, trust, or autonomy—which impairs his ability to find constructive solutions. His difficulty stems from unresolved developmental conflicts that prevent him from trusting others or asserting autonomy effectively. These unresolved crises hinder his capacity to evaluate situations objectively, leading to maladaptive responses or avoidance of problem-solving. Therefore, Erikson's model suggests that fostering resolution of psychosocial crises at each stage enhances one's ability to confront future challenges constructively, promoting healthier learning and adaptation over time.
