Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erikson emphasized the role of ego in personality development and outlined eight stages of psychosocial development, each characterized by a particular crisis or conflict that must be resolved in order for the individual to progress successfully to the next stage. While Freud also recognized the importance of the ego, he placed more emphasis on the id and the superego, and focused on the role of unconscious conflicts in shaping personality. The animus is a concept in Jungian psychology and is not directly relevant to Erikson's theory.
