Question 37 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

According to Erik Erikson, the first personality challenge adults should experience is whether or not an individual __________.

Answer
A
has the ability to be intimate with others
B
becomes concerned with future generations
C
can discover meaning in one’s life
D
can form a clear sense of identity

Explanation

Erikson’s first major psychosocial challenge of adulthood is intimacy versus isolation. It asks whether a person can form close, committed relationships with others, so the correct choice is “has the ability to be intimate with others.” Forming a clear sense of identity is mainly the challenge of adolescence, which comes before adulthood.
