Keyshawn didn't think much about being African American until he got to high school. Then he became painfully aware of his ethnic minority status. He still wants to do well in school and become a lawyer like his uncle, but he feels alienated when he's at school. His African American friends from middle school are not interested in academics, and Keyshawn doesn't have much in common with them anymore. His racial-ethnic identity seems to be:
 
  a. marginality.
  b. assimilation.
  c. biculturalism.
  d. separated.

Question 2

Which of the following adolescents has reached the identity status of foreclosure?
 
  a. Bennett doesn't like school or care about professions. He says he might do oil field work or construction. His mom just warns him not to grow up and be like his dad who abandoned the family.
  b. Carlos loves sports and wanted to be a professional tennis player, but has learned enough to recognize that he doesn't want the hectic lifestyle that goes with it. He recently shadowed a tennis coach and looked at the requirements for a profession in coaching. Now Carlos plans to pursue coaching.
  c. Maliyah has a heart of compassion and wants to help people who are sick. She talks about medical school, but she doesn't have high self-efficacy for mastering the complex knowledge required in the medical field. She is not deciding on a college major yet.
  d. Reggie is going to be a teacher. Her uncle and her grandmother are teachers and Reggie has never considered any other profession. She hasn't thought about the academic skills required to be a teacher or the classroom management aspects of being an effective teacher.
