The inability to resolve the trust vs. mistrust crisis can result in difficulty forming lasting relationships.
Peers are an influential social relationship in Stages 1, 3, and 7 of Erikson's theory.
Stages 5 and 7 of Erikson's theory do not involve peers as an influential social relationship.

Havighurst's Tasks

Becoming socially responsible during adolescence involves recognizing the importance of contributing to the community and engaging in social issues.
Developing a moral and ethical framework is a developmental task in adolescence.
