Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suzanne is in a state of identity moratorium, which is characterized by active exploration of different options and delay in making a firm commitment to a particular identity. She is questioning her parents' beliefs and searching for alternatives, which suggests that she has not yet made a decision about her own beliefs or values. Identity achievement, on the other hand, involves both exploration and commitment, while identity foreclosure involves making a commitment without exploring different options. Identity diffusion is a lack of both exploration and commitment.
