Identity vs. Role Confusion (Erik Erikson, 1960s) – the fifth stage of Psychosocial Development Theory, spanning approximately ages 12 years to 18 years, during which the adolescent should develop a coherent and continuous sense of identity. If one is unsuccessful during this stage, one may suffer from role confusion and be left with a weak or unstable sense of self.
