Identity versus role confusion

Explanation:

According to Erik Erikson, during the ages of 12-18 i.e, adolescents a person forms their identity.

A person ponders what kind of person they are in this stage. By setting goals and achieving them a person forms their identity. A person tries to identify themseleves with a certain group based on their beleif. If the person cannot identify with any group then they are confused about their identity.

Here, Brenda has liberal views but her parents are conservative. When confronted with a question about her political orientation she does not respond. Her own sense of identity has not fully formed.

Hence, she is in the identity versus role confusion stage.
