Identity Development

Erikson's stage of psychosocial development that occurs during adolescence is Identity vs. Role Confusion. This stage is characterized by the adolescent's struggle to establish a sense of identity and develop a sense of self, while also fitting into society and establishing their role in it.

Identity development is the process of developing a stable and coherent sense of self, including one's values, beliefs, and personality traits. This process involves exploring and experimenting with different roles and identities, and integrating these experiences into a cohesive sense of self.

The factors that influence identity development include personality, family, peer-group, school, community, and larger society. Occupation is not a factor that directly influences identity development but may be a part of an individual's identity once established.
