(a) After reading chapter 1 in your prescribed book, select any 2 (two) of the
5 (five) theoretical perspectives on human development identified by Kail
et al. (2019). IN YOUR OWN WORDS, discuss the main idea of each of
the theoretical perspectives you selected. Also, IN YOUR OWN WORDS
discuss the position on developmental issues and the emphasis in the
biopsychosocial framework of each of the 2 (two) theoretical perspectives
you selected. Keep the instructions and guidelines for this assignment in
mind when you do the assignment.
1. Psychodynamic Theory (e.g., Freud, Erikson):
• Main Idea: This perspective focuses on unconscious drives and conflicts,
particularly during childhood, that shape personality development. It proposes
stages of development centered around resolving these conflicts (e.g., Freud's
psychosexual stages, Erikson's psychosocial stages).
• Biopsychosocial Emphasis:
o Psycho (Mental): Unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, impact of
early experiences on personality.
o Bio (Biological): Stages of development may have some biological
underpinnings (e.g., Freud's emphasis on erogenous zones).
o Social (Environmental): Early social interactions with caregivers
(parents, guardians) are crucial in shaping personality.
2. Cognitive Theory (e.g., Piaget):
• Main Idea: This perspective emphasizes how our thinking (cognition) changes
and develops throughout our lifespan. It proposes stages of cognitive
development where children actively construct their understanding of the world
through interaction with their environment.
