Jennifer, a 35-year-old successful businesswoman and a mother, is offered a senior role at work. The role comes with a hefty pay
check, but it also requires her to move to a new city for five years. She would have to leave her family behind, especially her 2-year-old daughter, and miss out on her daughter's early childhood years. Jennifer loves her job as well as her family and finds it extremely difficult to make this important decision. In the context of Roy Baumeister's concept of identity crises, Jennifer is most likely experiencing ________ in this scenario.a. the third variable problemb. the directionality problemc. an identity deficitd. an identity conflict
Identity conflict occurs when an individual tries to maintain multiple identities in their lives at the same time. In this case, we see Jennifer struggle with decision of choosing her career over her family or vice-versa. She wants to satisfy both her family and her work. If she didn’t have to move to New York City for five years, she could satisfy both her family and her work, but having to making this extremely difficult decision is an example of identity conflict, having to decide one over the other and not be able to have both as she was offered a senior role at work.
