Definition(s)

  • Erik Erikson (1968) conceptualized the primary psychosocial task of adolescence as one of developing a sense of identity, of finding a place on a continuum between identity achievement and identity confusion. Identity, thus, is something one possesses to a greater or lesser degree, according to Erikson. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Identity Statuses]
