Zusatztext

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Life is marked by developmental changes in every domain of life: physical, cognitive, social, personality, faith, and moral. Due to great researchers such as Erikson, Kohlberg, Freud, Piaget, and Fowler we are able to understand the development of each domain more thoroughly and are consequently almost able to predict the development from a baby to an adult with accuracy. Each stage of life has its own challenges and key events which have a huge impact on a persons life, challenges which can be dealt with successfully or not-successfully. The aim of this paper is to overview the life stage adolescence, the last stage of childhood with its incorporated challenges, events and characteristics in the domains of a persons physical, cognitive, social, personality, faith, and moral life. (For a general overview and comparison over the major theories of human cognitive, physical, social, moral, and faith development please find the charts in Appendix I.)
