Abstract

Over the course of our lifetimes, narratives build on one another and gain depth. Erik Erikson's Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development provide a blueprint for helping us understand the world and stories we tell to describe it. A typical college student's life encompasses the first five stages from infancy (basic trust vs. mistrust) to late adolescence (identity vs. confusion). The lives of the interviewees are examined through this psychosocial lens with a focus on the development of their diversity stories, and early interactions and milestones set the stage for their four-year college experience.
