Psychosocial Stage 1 - Trust vs. Mistrust The first stage of Eriksonâs theory of psychosocial development occurs between birth and one year of age and is the most fundamental stage in life.2 Because an infant is utterly dependent, the development of trust is based on the dependability and quality of the childâs caregivers.
Some of the many causes of work-related stress include long hours, heavy workload, job insecurity and conflicts with co-workers or bosses. Symptoms include a drop in work performance, depression, anxiety and sleeping difficulties.
The most common stressors involve major changes in a personâs life and everyday issues he or she cannot control. Starting a new job, being fired from a job, moving to accommodate a new career, and retirement might all produce job-related stress. Marital issues, such as separation or divorce, typically produce stressful reactions.
