Which theorist or theory describing development do you agree with the most? Summarize this theory and describe why you agree with it.
Your Answer:
There is not one developmental theorist or theory I particularly agree with, but the one I find the most interesting is Freud's theory. Freud believed in psychosexual stages from infancy to adulthood. He stated that unsuccessful completion of a certain stage would result in a person becoming fixated on an erogenous part of the body, which in turn leads to the individual expressing specific personality traits.His theory makes sense to me. For instance, in the oral stage, the infant is fixated on their mouth, and as an adult they may become smokers because they continually seek pleasure to the mouth.

Compare and contrast Activity Theory and Selective Optimization with Compensation Theory. Be sure to both “compare” and “contrast.”
Your Answer:
Activity theory and selective optimization with compensation theory both promote an active lifestyle for an older adult. Activity theory states that an aging adult remain as active as possible until they are no longer to do so. Selective optimization with compensation theory states that an aging adult choose activities they like to do and adapt to them based on thier specific physical/mental needs or capabilites.
