Question 2

Tim loves Sarah and asks her to marry him. He is disappointed when she says she needs time to think about whether she wants to make a lifelong commitment to him. According to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Sarah is struggling with ____. ​

Accepted Answer

Sarah is struggling with intimacy vs. isolation, which is Erikson's sixth stage of psychosocial development. This stage occurs during young adulthood and involves the conflict of forming intimate relationships or facing isolation and loneliness. Sarah's hesitation to commit to Tim can be seen as a manifestation of this conflict. Option A (trust vs. mistrust) and option B (integrity vs. despair) are earlier and later stages of development, respectively, and are not applicable in this situation. Option D (generativity vs. stagnation) is also not applicable as it occurs during middle adulthood and involves the conflict of contributing to society versus feeling unproductive.
