Discussion
Which period of development is characterized by establishing independence, developing an identity and thinking more abstractly ?
Answer: C
The period is adolescence.
Adolescence is marked by growing independence from parents, the search for a personal identity (Erikson's identity versus role confusion) and the emergence of abstract, hypothetical thinking (Piaget's formal operational stage, from about age 11 or 12).
Middle and late childhood belong to Piaget's concrete operational stage and Erikson's industry versus inferiority, when thinking is still tied to concrete situations. Early adulthood is concerned with intimacy, careers and partnerships, after identity has largely been established.
