identity versus identity diffusion the fifth stage of ego according to psychologist Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This stage occurs during adolescence between the ages of approximately 12 and 18. During this stage, adolescents explore their independence and develop a sense of self. Amelia would be in the identity versus identy diffusion stage. This is the fifth stage of the ego per Erik Erkison's theory of psychosocial development. This generally happens between the ages of 12 and 18, and includes the time when young people find their sense of self and begin exploring inepenence.
