Resumo(s)
Erikson’s psychosocial development is a well-known and sound framework for adolescent
development. However, despite its importance in scientific literature, the
scarcity of literature reviews on Erikson’s theory on adolescence calls for an up-todate
systematization. Therefore, this study’s objectives are to understand the extent
and nature of published research on Erikson’s psychosocial development in adolescence
(10–19 years) in the last decade (2011–2020) and identify directions for
meaningful research and intervention. A scoping review was conducted following
Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, PRISMA-ScR guidelines, and a previous protocol,
including a comprehensive search in eight databases. From 932 initial studies,
58 studies were selected. These studies highlighted the burgeoning research on
Erikson’s approach, with a more significant representation of North American and
European studies. The focus of most studies was on identity formation, presenting
cross-cultural evidence of its importance in psychosocial development. Most of the
studies used quantitative designs presenting a high number of different measures.
Regarding topics and variables, studies emphasized the critical role of identity in
adolescents’ development and well-being and the relevance of supporting settings in
psychosocial development. However, shortcomings were found regarding the study
of online and school as privileged developmental settings for adolescents. Suggestions
included the need to consider the process of identity formation in the context
of lifespan development and invest in supporting adolescents’ identity formation.
Overall, conclusions point out Erikson’s relevance in understanding adolescents’
current challenges while offering valuable research and intervention directions to
enhance adolescent growth potential.
