Question

Having unclear expectations is part of which characteristic of adolescence? a. increased decision making c. the search for self b. increased pressure d. undefined status Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D

During adolescence, the person is faced with a multitude of options to build his own identity. When the teenager realizes these alternatives, when he begins to explore his world, his tastes, his intimate relationships, his gender, his friendships, etc., he may feel confused. This search, among so many opportunities, is what can lead to what we know as an identity crisis.

Sometimes the teenager does not explore his options and never undergoes a moratorium period. Thus, your way of building your identity will be through the advice or guidelines of an adult.

People who are in this status show a better fit than those who are in default or diffuse. However, it is no less true that it is a very unstable state and much more insecure than the realization identity.
