Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The identity vs. role confusion stage occurs during adolescence, and successful completion involves developing a sense of self and a clear understanding of one's goals and values. If Peter, at age 30, is still unsure of his identity and purpose in life, it suggests that he did not successfully complete this stage. The other options (intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, and autonomy vs. shame and doubt) do not apply as directly to Peter's current situation.
