Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

1.6K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Narcissism is typically viewed as agentic.
  • Communal narcissism, characterized by grandiose self-perceptions in communal domains, has been identified in adults.
  • The applicability of communal narcissism to adolescents, particularly at-risk youth, remains unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the construct of communal narcissism in at-risk adolescents.
  • To examine the self- and peer perceptions associated with adolescent communal narcissism.
  • To extend research on narcissism to a vulnerable adolescent population.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 136 at-risk adolescents (aged 16-19) from a residential program participated.
  • Participants completed self-report measures of narcissism and interpersonal behaviors.
  • Peer nomination procedures were used to assess interpersonal perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Self-reported communal narcissism correlated positively with self-reported prosocial behavior.
  • Adolescent communal narcissism was associated with peer-reported aggression.
  • These findings parallel those for agentic narcissism in adults.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent communal narcissism is associated with negative peer perceptions, specifically aggression.
  • The findings highlight the potential interpersonal difficulties linked to grandiose self-views in communal areas among adolescents.
  • Understanding these interpersonal consequences is crucial for addressing adolescent grandiosity.
