Trust Vs. Mistrust

Theorist Erikson made the theory of trust vs. mistrust because he found out children need to be able to trust caregivers. Without trust from their care giver they will learn to mistrust everything in life.
Erikson wants to resolve this emotional conflict in a positive direction. Parents and teachers play a part in this role to help pursue the positive emotional states. Infants must have trust from caregivers to view the world as safe and predictable. Children want to be able to have trust in caregivers then move on to other beings. Mistrust comes from children who were either abused or neglected. The children with mistrust will not resolve this emotional states in a positive manner.
