Answer:
establishing close bonds with others
Explanation:
Erikson believed that the biggest challenge facing young adults was to establish close ties with others. He stated that when we reach this cycle, we focus on social and emotional development. When we reach adulthood, relationships, responsibilities, insertion in environments that we were previously unaware of, arise, and we have to make important decisions that affect personal development. Relationships with family, friends, co-workers and partner (boyfriend, fiancé, spouse, etc.) directly affect the individual's motivations and ambitions. External influences affect much more than internal influences, and the preference for learning happens more practically, even if part of it is in an academic setting. The interest is in getting a job, seeking a promotion, being seen as a successful person, establishing affective bonds etc.
