Answer 1

I assume you wish to know about James Marcia's identity development statuses in his identity status interview research

Answer and Explanation:

James Marcia notes four unique identity developmental statuses faced by individuals:

Forclosure: is status of individuals who do not explore alternatives and merely make commitments such as based on what their parents want

identity diffusion: is the status of individuals who have not considered the need to search for an identity and therefore have no commitments or tried to explore any alternatives. These individuals are known to face no identity crisis and no anxiety problems as they have not gone into identity development

Moratorium: individuals here are in an identity crisis as they have began to explore alternatives and commitments are more or less defined. These individuals face anxiety as search for identity.

Identity achievement: here individuals have been able to find identity and have made commitments after having faced the previous stages and now have an internal definition of identity.
