According to Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, there are four identity statuses that adolescents may experience: foreclosure, diffusion, moratorium, and achievement. Foreclosure refers to when an individual has accepted an identity without exploring other options. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to when an individual has not yet explored different options and has not committed to a specific identity. Adolescents who are stuck in either foreclosure or diffusion tend to be passive in the face of identity concerns and may have difficulty adjusting to the demands of their social and academic environment.
