a. Intimacy versus Isolation
b. Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt
c. Identity versus Role Confusion
d. Ego Integrity versus Despair
A
Intimacy versus Isolation (mid-20s to mid-40s): Intimate relationships with family and significant others; has stable, positive feelings about self; experiences successful role transitions and increased responsibilities. Autonomy versus Same and Doubt is usually found in children (1 year old to 3 years old) and involves increasing independence in thoughts and actions. In the Identity versus Role Confusion stage (usually in people 12 to 20 years of age) the individual accepts body changes/maturation, examines attitudes, values and beliefs, and feels positive about an expanded sense of self. In the late 60s until death, the person is usually in the Ego Integrity versus Despair stage and is interested in providing a legacy for the next generation.
