Discuss the special conflict that Erikson believed marked young adulthood. Then describe how an individual could best resolve this conflict
What will be an ideal response?
Intimacy versus isolation is the sixth stage in Erikson's theory and the major psychosocial task for young adults. Once a person's identity is established, Erikson believed that he or she is ready for intimacy. One study found that a stronger sense of identity was related to higher levels of intimacy in young adults. Erikson believed that without a clear sense of identity, young adults would be afraid of committing to a long-term relationship with another person or might become overly dependent on the partner for his or her identity.
