Solution

According to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, if the psychological conflict of adolescence is not successfully resolved, a young person experiences role confusion. This stage, known as 'Identity vs. Role Confusion', occurs during adolescence from 12 to 18 years. Successful navigation of this stage results in the virtue of fidelity and a strong sense of self. However, failure to establish a sense of identity within society ("role confusion") can lead to uncertainty about oneself and one's place in society.
