Amanda has been interested in political parties during this election year and has decided that her ideas align with one party and its platform. She feels strongly about her ideas and is becoming quite an advocate for one candidate in her state. Some of her friends are uncommitted and take no interest in politics. Amanda's passion for this area of interest is helping her feel more decisive about other things such as subjects she wants to study. Amanda is in what stage of psychosocial development?

Identity versus Role Confusion is the fifth of eight Stages of Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development theory. It happens through adolescence, from around 12 to 18 years of age.

During this stage, teenagers seek to find their own identity through a powerful exploration of their values, ideas, and expectations. It´s a significant stage that leads the child to think about the roles to fulfill in adulthood.
