Correct Answer - Option 4 : Identity vs role confusion
Freud's Theory of Psycho-sexual Development:
-
Freud believed that personality gets well established during childhood, largely before the age of five years.
- He proposed five stages of psychosexual development which include oral stage, anal stage, phallic stage, latency stage, and genital stage.
-
Genital stage (Thirteen years to adulthood)
- In this stage, successful completion of previous stages helps in developing a mature intimate relationship with the opposite sex.
Erikson's theory of Psycho-social development:
- Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist has proposed the 'Theory of Psychosocial Development', in which he has covered human personality development in a series of eight stages that take place from infancy to late adulthood.
-
Identity vs. Role Confusion stage (Twelve to Eighteen years)
- In this stage, teenagers work at refining a sense of self by testing roles, or they become confused about their identity.
Hence, it could be concluded the age range of the Genital Stage of Freud's theory of Psycho-sexual development is similar to the 'Identity vs role confusion stage' of Erikson's theory of Psycho-social development.
