Early adulthood (19-29) Erikson stage?

• A. Intimacy vs Isolation
• B. Generativity vs Stagnation
• C. Trust vs Mistrust
• D. Identity vs Confusion

Answer: (A)

In early adulthood the focus is forming close, intimate relationships and balancing connection with your own independence. This is the stage of Intimacy vs Isolation, where success means forming healthy, committed relationships and sharing yourself with others without losing your sense of self; failure can lead to loneliness and fear of commitment. The other stages occur at different life periods: trust vs Mistrust is from infancy, identity vs Confusion from adolescence, and generativity vs Stagnation from middle adulthood, each guiding different developmental tasks.
