"Erikson's Psychosocial Stages Summary Chart." Psychology. Web. 18 Apr. 2012. <http://psychology.about.com/library/bl_psychosocial_summary.htm>.

A few charts depicting the 8 stages of Erikson’s psychological stages. Not extremely in depth, but fairly concise summaries of each. Also good for understanding the typical age differences between the various stages. Utilized in my 3^rd and 2^nd to last paragraph.

The site is not quite as professional as I would desire, however, it is a fairly expansive website. It’s peer reviewed so far as I can tell, so it’s not too bad. The site covers some key concepts regarding Piaget’s model, as well as exemplifying what happens when individuals get stuck during specific stages.

Journal article going into depth regarding both Erikson’s stages, as well as Piagets. The article tries to combine both views, creating a type of unified system of developmental psychology, which is a pretty arduous task. Not simple language, although explained very in detail. Additionally, seeks to draw parallels between stages of development, and substages, which fill in the gaps between years.
