Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brita is in a state of moratorium, which means she is actively exploring different options and considering different possibilities without committing to one. She has not yet made a decision about her major, so she is not in a state of diffusion (lack of exploration or commitment) or foreclosure (commitment without exploration). The achievement level would only be reached after Brita has explored her options and made a conscious decision about her major.
