Erik Erickson
Erickson's cultural bias theory, proposed by psychologist Erik Erikson, emphasizes that human development is influenced by cultural factors, particularly in the context of identity formation. According to this theory, individuals navigate eight stages of psychosocial development, each influenced by their cultural background and societal expectations. Cultural biases can shape an individual's experiences and challenges at each stage, affecting their identity and sense of self. This theory highlights the importance of considering cultural context in understanding psychological development and identity.

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.
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.
