Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Erikson noted the strong impact of peer groups on the development of ego identity in adolescence. He noted that excessive association with fanatical groups and cults, or obsessive identification with icons of popular culture, could restrict the developing ego.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: People who experience an identity crisis may withdraw from the normal life sequence (education, job, marriage) as Erikson did for a time or seek a negative identity in crime or drugs. Even a negative identity, as society defines it, is preferable to no identity at all, although it is not as satisfactory as a positive identity.
