Describe the key elements of the contemporary view of identity development.
What will be an ideal response?
Contemporary views of identity development suggest that it is a lengthy process, in many instances more gradual and less cataclysmic than Erikson's term, crisis, implies. Today's theorists contend that this complex process neither begins nor ends in adolescence. Instead, modern theorists contend that we go through a series of reorganizations of identity throughout the lifespan. Contemporary theorists also postulate that adolescents and emerging adults have multiple identities and that they are seeking a balance between autonomy and a need for connectedness to others.
