Rationale 2: Industry versus inferiority occurs from 6 to 12 years, during the school-age stage.
Rationale 3: Intimacy versus isolation is the task during young adulthood and occurs from 18 to 25 years.
Rationale 4: According to Erik Erikson, the adolescent stage is from 12 to 20 years and the central task is identity versus role confusion. Positive resolution indicates sense of self with plans to actualize one's abilities. Negative resolution indicates feelings of confusion, indecisiveness, and possible antisocial behavior.
