Answer 1

1.Identity formation

According to Erikson, identity formation, while beginning in childhood, gains prominence during adolescence. During adolescence, kids have to deal with the physical growth, sexual maturation, and impending career choices. With time they are able to accomplish the task of integrating their prior experiences and characteristics into a stable identity. He observed that adolescents experience temporary instability and confusion as they struggle with alternatives and choices. Erikson called this identity crisis. To cope with the uncertainties of this stage, adolescents sometimes over-identify with heroes and mentors, fall in love, and bond together in cliques, excluding others on the basis of real or imagined differences.

2.Achievement

At this status, youth is said to have achieved their identity by a process of active exploration and a strong commitment to a particular set of values, beliefs, and life goals that have emerged from this active exploration and examination. At this identity status, youth will have decided what values and goals are most important to them, and what purpose or mission will direct their life.

3. moratorium

At this status, youth are in the midst of an identity "crisis" which has prompted them to explore and experiment with different values, beliefs, and goals. But they have not made any final decisions about which beliefs and values are most important to them, and which principles should guide their lives. Thus, they are not yet committed to a particular identity keeping the options open.

4.Foreclosure

At this identity status, adolescents are not actively trying to determine what is important to them. They are not questioning the values and beliefs they have been taught. They simply accept the beliefs and values of their family, community, and culture. They do not question why they should adhere to these beliefs, nor do they consider any alternatives.

5.Diffusion

At this identity status, the adolescents haven't considered their identity at all. They do not have any life goals. They are reactive, passively floating through life and dealing with each situation as it arises. Their primary motivation is to seek pleasure and avoidance of discomfort.

6. identity foreclosure and achievement

7. Moratorium

This identity status represents a high degree of exploration but a low degree of commitment.

8.Negative Identity

When adolescents adopt an identity that is opposite what is expected of them. Usually occurs when adolescents feel that the roles their parents and society expect them to fulfill are unattainable or unappealing, yet they cannot find any alternatives that are truly their own.

9. Diffusion

The identity status, diffusion, describes youth who have neither explored nor committed to any particular identity.
