Answer to Question 1

Table 9.1 presents the four phases of Marcia's theory of identity statuses.

(a) Identity Diffusion  During this status, a person may become overwhelmed by the various options that are before them, and will take little or no action to make a choice or accomplish a task.
(b) Identity Foreclosure  In this status, some adult(s) (often the parents) have made the decision on a course of action for the adolescent rather than allowing for independent exploration. An example may be when a parent dictates to their teenager what college they will go to or what career they will pursue.
(c) Identity Moratorium  In this status, the individual is actively exploring a number of different options, but has yet to commit to a specific course of action. An example might be a college student who is taking a variety of different courses but has not yet chosen a major field of study.
(d) Identity Achievement  In this status the individual has explored a variety of options and as a result of that exploration has made a commitment to a specific choice or path.
