Answer to Question 1

Foreclosure involves no searching, but a commitment to an identity. Teens often choose identities of relatives or have them chosen by their families. Moratorium involves searching and no commitment. It is active searching for an identity prior to one being selected. Diffusion, the least mature identity status, is common among younger children and involves no searching and no commitment. Little interest in an identity is evident. Identity achievement follows searching and commitment to an identity. It is most common during later adolescence.
