Culture is really important in Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Framework. It shapes how people go through and deal with the eight stages of growing up. Each stage is affected by what is normal, valuable, and expected in different cultures. This cultural backdrop makes a big difference in how people experience these stages.
Trust vs. Mistrust: In cultures that focus on community living, babies might learn to trust people more easily because they are cared for by many adults together.
Identity vs. Role Confusion: Teenagers in cultures that value individuality might look for their personal identity in a different way than those in cultures that focus on the group. In group-oriented cultures, being part of the community might be more important.
Cultural Variation: The expectations for each stage can change a lot from one culture to another. This means that people may experience success or failure in these stages differently based on their cultural background.
These examples show just how much culture matters when we try to understand how a person's personality develops.
