Erik Erickson was a German-American psychologist who is best known for coming up with the phrase "identity crisis". This is when one does not discover who he "is" during adolescence, but instead feels lost and does not know where he belongs.
Identity-diffused adolescents are those who have not yet explored or committed to any particular identity. They may lack a sense of direction or purpose, and often struggle with feelings of confusion and disconnection. This stage of identity development is characterized by a lack of exploration or commitment to any specific beliefs, values, or goals.
Experiment with new skills
Erickson believed that young teenagers go through a period of identity confusion, are they still children or are they an adult? He proposed that this happened to every teenager and so this crisis of identity was normal. He therefore called it a normative crisis.
An identity crisis occurs when an individual experiences uncertainty or confusion about their sense of self, including their values, beliefs, and goals. This can be triggered by major life events, such as career changes or relationship conflicts, that challenge one's understanding of who they are. It is a normal part of development as individuals explore and define their identity.
