How Does Identity Develop Over the Lifespan?
Identity starts as a baby with exploration much in the same way that cognition develops. As a toddler, we are influenced by those who model behavior for us. As a child, we start to make some of our own judgments and decisions. As a teenager, we really start to define who we are and make decisions based on our needs and wants. Hopefully by the time we are an adult we have a good idea of who we are. Those of us who don't are probably the ones who are lacking in satisfaction and feel a little lost.
