Why can figuring out who you are feel so complicated? In this episode, Jowd explores Erik Erikson’s eight stages of psychosocial development, focusing on identity during adolescence. Everyday examples, research evidence, and a critique of the theory’s assumptions reveal both its usefulness and its limits. This episode was researched and produced by Jowd for their HHG4M Human Development (Psychology) course during Semester 1, 2026/27. References Coles, R., Hunt, R. M., & Maher, B. A. (2002, March 7).
