Erik Erikson on Identity - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 117 Identity/Erikson/Upton: According to Erikson (1950)(1), during adolescence, young people are faced with an overwhelming number of choices about who they are and where they are going in life. For Erikson, this is the crisis that has to be resolved at this developmental stage; if adolescents are not able to answer this question adequately they will suffer from identity confusion, which wifi delay their development in the later stages of life. The search for identity is supported by what Erikson calls a psychosocial moratorium. What he means is that adolescents are relatively free of responsibility, which enables them to have the space to try out (and discard) different identities. They are able to experiment with different roles and personalities until they find the ones that best suit them. >Identity/Developmental psychology. 1. Erikson.
