Question

Christopher has recently graduated from college, and is making plans to propose marriage to his girlfriend and start a family together. According to Erikson, the challenge that Christopher faces at this stage of psychosocial development can be described as _______

Answer 1

Answer:

Intimacy versus isolation.

Explanation:

Intimacy versus isolation is the 6th stage of Erik Erikson's (1902-1994) theory of psychosocial development. It takes place between ages 19 and 40. At that time, an individual is trying to form an intimate and loving relationship with other people. If he/she succeeds, this will lead to fulfilling relationships (intimacy). On the other hand, if he/she fails, this will cause loneliness (isolation).
