Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory adopts an intrapersonal focus‚ outlining nine age related stages of the life cycle while Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Stage Theory focuses on five socio-cultural stages within which the individual interacts‚ interpersonally‚ over time. This essay will focus on both these theories‚ their
