Forming a stable, coherent identity is an important developmental task for adolescents and emerging adults. Some individuals achieve a high degree of identity resolution in their early twenties, whereas others remain more uncertain of who they are and what they want out of life. Erikson proposed that resolving the identity crisis in youth is a prerequisite for moving forward through the developmental tasks of middle and later life. The present study tests whether college-age identity resolution is associated with developmental trajectories for the subsequent Eriksonian stages - intimacy, generativity, and integrity - from the twenties through the sixties.
