The fifth stage of personality development takes place in adolescence, beginning with puberty, and ending around 18 or 20 years of age. Erickson believed that the ego is a relatively powerful and independent part of the personality whose main function is establishing one’s identity. It also tries to satisfy a need for mastery over the environment. At the same time, conflicts arise and it has to avoid role confusion. This crisis is not insurmountable. It is a turning point where potential is increased and vulnerability enhanced. Those with happy and encouraging experiences emerge with a strong sense of the self and with a feeling of control. Others, who are unsure of their goals and beliefs, remain confused and insecure about themselves and their future. Erickson states that all experiences need not and may not be positive but positive resolution is dominant.

Ego identity requires taking into account all that you have learned and trying to know who you are. You have to mold yourself into a unified self-image that is meaningful within the community. To make the transition smooth, there should be an adult culture with role models and open lines of communication. The transition from childhood to adulthood takes place. The adolescent needs to understand the powerless and irresponsible time of childhood from the powerful and responsible time of adulthood. This transition can be marked by an event, ritual or ceremony. Without these, there could be role confusion. Role confusion leads to an identity crisis.
