This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Jocelyn is 25 years old and she feels very insecure about some of the personal and career choices she has made so far. Consequently, at this point in her life she is unwilling to form a serious, committed relationship with another person. Based on Erikson's theory, Jocelyn may:
a. develop feelings of inferiority and doubt
b. become self-indulgent and self-absorbed
c. experience feelings of despair and bitterness
d. develop a sense of isolation
Answer:
Jocelyn may d. develop a sense of isolation.
Explanation:
Jocelyn is, according to Erik Erikson's theory, in the sixth stage of development. This stage takes place when people are between 19 and 40 years old, and it is during this period that forming strong, committed relationships is crucial for development. When people fail to do it, they develop a sense of isolation. Failing is usually a result of a poor sense of self, which makes people more likely to experience isolation, loneliness, and depression. As we can see, Jocelyn is 25 and is insecure about important life decisions. That prevents her from committing, which may lead to her isolation.
