Psychosocial development refers to how our mind is changing
.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Psychosocial development or the "Theory of psychosocial development" as defined by Erikson with the help of Joan Erikson constitutes eight stages from infancy to adulthood which an individual must successfully pass in order to have a healthy development. There are various goals all along the way created by conflicts and consequences, that must be met.
If an individual reconciles with the conflicts of one stage, he emerges from that stage with the associated virtue of the same. If he fails to do so, these might present as conflicts later again in the subsequent stages which he will have to solve later. Each of these stages is temporary and the success in the previous stage is not a prerequisite to enter into the next one.
<u>Negative punishment</u> is a method of operant conditioning which involves <u>removing a desirable stimulus after a client acts in an undesirable manner, to discourage that behavior</u> and reduce the likelihood of the behavior being repeated by the client in future.
