What will be an ideal response?
James Marcia identified four statuses of identity development. Identity diffusion is when adolescents have not yet explored meaningful alternatives or made any commitments. They are undecided about such things as their future career, and they show little interest in such matters. Identity foreclosure happens when adolescents have made a commitment to an identity without experiencing what Marcia calls a "crisis," or an opportunity to explore their options. Identity moratorium is Marcia's term for the state of adolescents who are in the midst of an identity crisis, but who have not yet made a clear commitment to an identity. Finally, Identity achievement happens when adolescents have undergone an identity crisis and have made a commitment to an identity.
