Question: 1 / 400

According to Erikson what task does the teenager have to accomplish during the identity versus role confusion stage?

Defining a core set of values

Erikson proposed that teenagers in the identity versus role confusion stage must establish a clear and consistent sense of identity by exploring and defining their own values, beliefs, and goals. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they don't directly relate to the task of establishing a sense of identity.

B The choice between right and wrong is typically developed during the previous stage of adolescence, identity versus identity confusion.

C: Developing a sense of autonomy is important for teenagers, but it is not the primary task during this stage.

D: Coming to terms with the past is more relevant in later stages of adulthood.
