Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Foreclosure is the stage in identity development where an individual adopts an identity without exploring alternatives. This means that they have taken on an identity without considering other possibilities, and may therefore view the world in a rigid, inflexible way. This is in contrast to the moratorium stage, where individuals are actively exploring different options and may be more open-minded, and the achievement stage, where individuals have solidified their identity through exploration and may be more flexible in their thinking. The diffusion stage is characterized by a lack of commitment or direction in identity, and may also be associated with more fluid or ambiguous thinking.
