Based on Erikson's developmental theory, what is the major developmental task of the adolescent?
A) Gaining independence
B) Finding an identity
C) Coordinating information
D) Mastering motor skills
Ans: B
According to Erikson, it is during adolescence that teenagers achieve a sense of identity. The toddler developed a sense of trust in infancy and is ready to give up dependence and to assert his or her sense of control and autonomy. The psychosocial task of the preschool years is establishing a sense of initiative versus guilt by mastering skills. In the school-age years the child develops concrete operations and is able to assimilate and coordinate information about the world from different dimensions.
