Navigating the Dynamic Journey of Identity Development - Emberhart

Marcia’s identity theory identifies four statuses based on crisis and commitment: identity achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and identity diffusion. Each stage reflects different levels of exploration and decision-making about one's values and goals.
