Developmental task
of adolescence
In the eight stages of Psychosocial Developmental
Theory of Erik Erikson, Identity vs. Role Confusion (this
stage is the age between 12 to 18 years old) explains that
adolescents would try to explore and figure out their
own identity and try to fit in with social interactions at
the same time. According to Erikson, an adolescent's
main task is developing a sense of self.
Developmental task
of adolescence
Adolescents struggle with questions "Who am I?" and
"What do I want to do with my life?" Most adolescents
try to explore various roles and ideas and look for a
place where they can fit set goals, and attempt to
discover themselves.
- As an adolescent who is entering the
stage of adulthood, you are responsible
for your own being Accepting yourself
and ensuring your body's physical
health help you build a stronger
personality and sense of identity.
Likewise, building a strong relationship with
your family and showing affection and
respect to others can improve interactions
with them Establishing social responsibility,
moreover, develops personal and moral
values to guide you on how to react to social
issues
- Entering adulthood is undeniably a big
challenge. At this stage of your life, your
family, your school, and your community
contribute to prepare you for this life-
changing task.
You should, in turn, need to be
emotionally prepared since you
would need to choose people whom
you think would help you fulfill these
tasks in order for you to reach your
goals in life
-Some years ago, Professor Robert J.
Havighurst of the University of Chicago
proposed that stages in human
development can best be thought of in
terms of the developmental tasks that are
part of the normal transition In his
developmental tasks
theory, he stressed out that when people
successfully accomplish the
developmental tasks at a stage, they feel
pride and satisfaction. He defines
developmental task as a task that arises at
or about a certain period in life
unsuccessful achievement of which leads
to inability to perform tasks associated
with the next period or stage in life.
-Havighurst identified eleven
Developmental Tasks of Normal
Adolescence associated with the
adolescent transition However, he
believes that adolescents do not progress
through these multiple developmental
tasks separately because adolescence
tasks may vary with early middle, and late
periods of the transition
