According to the theory of psychosocial development, adolescents are focused on __________.

Answer
A
developing healthy family relationships
B
developing a healthy intimate relationship
C
realizing what role they want to play in society
D
improving and controlling their behavior in social situations

Explanation

In Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, adolescence centers on identity versus role confusion. Adolescents explore who they are and what role they want to play in society, so the best answer is “realizing what role they want to play in society.” Developing an intimate relationship is a later developmental focus.
