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. During this stage, the adolescent may explore her ethnic culture, participating in cultural events, reading, and discussion. In the third stage, individuals have an achieved ethnic identity that involves self-acceptance as a member of one's ethnic group.
