James Marcia's theory of identity development expands on Erik Erikson's work, focusing on how individuals form their identities during adolescence. He proposed four identity statuses: identity diffusion (lack of commitment and exploration), identity foreclosure (commitment without exploration), identity moratorium (active exploration without commitment), and identity achievement (commitment after exploration). Marcia's framework highlights the processes of exploration and commitment as key factors in developing a coherent sense of self. This theory has been influential in understanding how young people navigate their identities in various contexts.
