In other words, young people in this age, are still not exploring other opportunities and ideas, but are adopting established patterns.
The combination of the emphatic need to explore one's own identity in adolescence and the established characteristics of family and society creates this psychological phenomenon. Identity foreclosure is, in fact, a consequence of a pronounced desire to discover one's identity, but when adolescents are still unsure of who they are, what their true traits and aspirations are, they can then adopt someone else's, from a close environment, ideas and traits for which they think they are theirs.
