Answer to Question 2

Intimacy versus isolation is the sixth stage in Erikson's theory and the major psychosocial task for young adults. Once a person's identity is established, Erikson believed that he or she is ready for intimacy. One study found that a stronger sense of identity was related to higher levels of intimacy in young adults. Erikson believed that without a clear sense of identity, young adults would be afraid of committing to a long-term relationship with another person or might become overly dependent on the partner for his or her identity.
