the person experiences a psychosocial crisis which could have
a positive or negative outcome for personality development.

psychosocial development is identity vs.
role confusion, and it occurs during
adolescence, from about 12-18 years.
During this stage, adolescents search for a
sense of self and personal identity,
through an intense exploration of
personal values, beliefs, and goals.

psychosocial development. This
stage takes place during during
middle adulthood (ages 40 to 65
yrs).

Ego integrity versus despair is the eighth
and final stage of Erik Erikson’s stage
theory of psychosocial development. This
stage begins at approximately age 65 and
ends at death. It is during this time that
we contemplate our accomplishments and
can develop integrity if we see ourselves as
leading a successful life.

validity. Many people find that
they can relate to his theories
about various stages of the life
cycle through their own
experiences.
