What does Erikson's theory assert about identity formation in teenagers?

  1. It is a myth

  2. It can be completed in a single step

  3. It should be done without any external influence

  4. It is an ongoing process and is dependent upon life experiences

The correct answer is: It is an ongoing process and is dependent upon life experiences

Erikson's theory of psychosocial development emphasizes that identity formation is an ongoing process that occurs throughout a person's life and is heavily influenced by their life experiences. It is not something that can be completed in a single step or without any external influence. Additionally, it is not a myth, as research has supported Erikson's theory and its impact on human development.
