Answer to Question 1

Unexamined ethnic identity is similar to Marcia's ego identity statuses of diffusion or foreclosure. It involves either a lack of searching for one's identity or selection of it based on family identification. In the ethnic identity search stage, the second stage, the adolescent actively seeks out information and an identity. This second stage, similar to Marcia's moratorium, may be based on some incident that makes the adolescent aware of his or her ethnicity.
