Sixteen-year-old Aaliyah experiments with different friend groups, considers several possible majors, tries out a religious community her family does not belong to, and asks her parents many questions about who she "really" is. Her parents notice that her values and goals shift several times during the year.
Using Marcia's identity statuses, Aaliyah is best described as in:
- Acheck_circle
Moratorium
- B
Foreclosure
- C
Identity achievement
- D
Diffusion
Explanation
Moratorium is active exploration without firm commitment. Foreclosure is commitment without exploration; achievement is commitment after exploration; diffusion is neither exploring nor committing.
