Not much worthy to take note of, though there are some really interesting concepts.

Identity Formation

Four identity statuses that are formed during adolescence:

  1. Foreclosure occurs when an individual commits to an identity without exploring options.
  2. Identity Diffusion occurs when adolescents neither explore nor commit to any identities.
  3. Moratorium is a state in which adolescents are actively exploring options but have not yet made commitments.
  4. Identity Achievement occurs when individuals have explored different options and then made identity commitments.
