Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jennifer's lack of interest in high-school or career goals suggests she is in a state of diffusion, where she hasn't yet explored or committed to any identities. Foreclosure might also apply if she's adopting an identity without exploration due to external expectations, but the lack of interest primarily indicates diffusion.
