Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffusion and foreclosure are two of the four identity statuses proposed by James Marcia. Diffusion is characterized by individuals who have not yet made a commitment to an identity and are not actively exploring options, while foreclosure is characterized by individuals who have made a commitment to an identity without having explored other options. These two statuses become less common in late adolescence as individuals typically move towards either moratorium (actively exploring options without having made a commitment) or achievement (having made a commitment to an identity after actively exploring options).
