Failure to develop consistent identity results in :

  • A.Inferiority complex
  • B.Role confusion
  • C.Social isolation
  • D.Stagnation

Answer: B

Failure to develop a consistent identity results in Role confusion.

In Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the fifth stage, in adolescence, is identity versus role confusion. A young person who succeeds forms a stable sense of who they are; one who fails remains unsure of their roles, values and direction in life.

Each distractor is the negative pole of a different stage: inferiority belongs to industry versus inferiority in the school years, social isolation to intimacy versus isolation in young adulthood, and stagnation to generativity versus stagnation in middle adulthood.
