Key Concepts

Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory

This theory outlines eight stages through which a healthily developing individual should pass from infancy to late adulthood. Each stage presents a central conflict or task that must be resolved in order for the person to develop a healthy psychological quality, influencing their overall development throughout life.

Identity vs Role Confusion

This is the fifth stage in Erikson’s theory, primarily occurring during adolescence. In this stage, individuals work on developing a personal identity and sense of self; success leads to an ability to stay true to oneself, while failure results in role confusion and a weak or unstable sense of self.
