The search for identity usually occurs during

adolescence or young adulthood. It is during this phase that individuals begin to explore and question their beliefs, values, and interests. They may experiment with different identities, roles, and social groups in an attempt to discover who they are and where they fit in. This search for identity can be influenced by various factors such as family, culture, peers, and personal experiences. It is a complex and ongoing process that continues throughout life as individuals continue to grow and evolve.
