Question

according to erik erikson, during adolescence people are in the ______ stage.

a. initiative versus guilt

b. identity versus role confusion

c. trust versus mistrust

d. integrity versus despair

Explanation:

Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory has stages. Adolescence (around 12 - 18 years) is the "identity versus role confusion" stage, where individuals explore self - identity. "Initiative versus guilt" is for preschool (3 - 6 years), "trust versus mistrust" for infancy (0 - 1.5 years), and "integrity versus despair" for late adulthood (65 + years). So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. identity versus role confusion
