Roni's commitment to both his family and peers may result in acculturative stress, which refers to the psychological and emotional stress that can arise from adjusting to a new culture while maintaining ties to one's original culture. This stress can be particularly acute for adolescents who are trying to navigate the demands of their family and community while also fitting in with their peer group. Bicultural avoidance (B) refers to a strategy some individuals use to avoid conflicts and stress associated with managing multiple cultural identities. Ethnic-identity foreclosure (C) is a stage of ethnic identity development in which individuals adopt a firm and unchanging identity without exploring different possibilities. Ethnic-identity moratorium (D) is a stage of ethnic identity development in which individuals actively explore and question their cultural identity. While Roni's situation may involve some elements of these stages, acculturative stress is the best description of the stress he may experience.
