Erikson's belief is that throughout each person's lifetime, they experience different crises or conflicts. Each of the conflicts arises at a certain point in life and must be successfully resolved for progression to the next of the eight stages. The particular stage relevant to identity formation takes place during adolescence, called "Identity versus Role Confusion." The "Identity versus Role Confusion" stage consists of adolescents trying to figure out who they are in order to form a basic identity that they will build on throughout their life, especially concerning social and occupational identities. They face the complexities of determining one's own identity. Erikson said this crisis is resolved with identity achievement, the point at which an individual has extensively considered various goals and values, accepting some and rejecting others, and understands who they are as a unique person.[4] Once an adolescent has attained identiy achievement, they are ready to enter the next stage of Erikson's theory "Intimacy versus Isolation" where they will form strong friendships and a sense of companionship with others. If the "Identity versus Role Confusion" crisis is not solved, an adolescent will face confusion about future plans, particularly their roles in adulthood. Failure to form one's own identity leads to failure to form a shared identity with others, which could lead to instability in many areas as an adult. The identity formation stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is a crucial stage in life.
-Psychosocial development continues over entire life span—inner instincts vs. outer social demands; a social and mental process
Development follows a universal sequence (in stages)
Successful identity development involves resolving eight crises or dilemmas of "opposing possibilities;" if do not resolve crisis positively, still move to next stage
Adolescent stage is "Identity vs. Role Confusion" (5th stage)
Adolescent must develop their core sense of self, values, beliefs, and goals. Identity diffusion occurs when individuals lack a clear sense of self or purpose
