1. Erikson described 3 forms of identity crisis: severe (identity confusion overwhelms personal identity) prolonged (realignment of childhood identifications over an extended time) aggravated (repeated unsuccessful attempts at resolution) Failure to establish a sense of identity within society (“I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up”) can lead to role confusion. However, if adolescents don’t have the support, time, or emotional capacity to explore their identity, they may be left with unresolved identity issues, feeling unsure about their roles and uncertain about their future.
