The process of reality testing can be thought of as a lifespan developmental line, where adolescence provides a critical developmental advance but not an endpoint. Erikson's concepts of fidelity and developmental actuality provide a frame of reference for considering this. Three means of reality testing are identified--contemplation, action, and conversation--where these modes of approach can be used separately or in concert to clarify the reality status of situations and phenomena. These methods of testing reality are illustrated within four arenas of adolescent functioning-thought, time, parental representations, and the experience of the embodied self.
现实检验的过程可以被视为一条贯穿一生的发展主线，在这条主线上，青春期是一个关键的发展阶段，但并非终点。埃里克森的忠诚和发展现实概念为思考这一点提供了一个参考框架。人们确定了三种现实检验方式——沉思、行动和对话——这些方式可以单独使用，也可以协同使用，以澄清情况和现象的现实状况。这些检验现实的方法在青少年功能的四个领域——思维、时间、父母形象和身体自我体验——中得到了说明。
