Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: An extensive research program on the adolescent stage of development identified five psychosocial types, or statuses, for that period. These are identity achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, identity diffusion, and alienated achievement. Four of these statuses, in the following order (identity diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and identity achievement), represent increasingly successful resolutions of the identity problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Foreclosure describes adolescents who have not yet experienced an identity crisis but who express commitment to an occupation and an ideology. However, these commitments often have been determined for them by their parents and do not result from the adolescents' deliberate choice.
