Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, adolescents who fail to develop purposeful and responsible behaviors may experience identity confusion or role confusion. This is because they have not successfully navigated the stage of identity versus role confusion, where they explore and experiment with various roles until they find one that accurately reflects their identity. Failure to do so can lead to confusion and a lack of direction in life. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) refer to different developmental concepts and are not directly related to Erikson's theory of identity development.
