According to Erik Erickson, when there is an identity crisis, the individual prefers a negative identity over none at all. James Marcia built on that, saying that there are at least three causes of identity crisis.1. Identity foreclosure - That is when you have been groomed into an assumed identity and then that identity becomes impossible. So the old rules of existing no longer apply, but there's nothing to replace them.2. Identity diffusion - That is where the person gets stuck in a state of inaction.3. Identity moratorium - That is an active state where the person is stuck. They keep seeking for their identity and never get anywhere during the period of crisis. For instance, a college student might constantly change their major, since they don't know who they are and keep trying to discover themselves.
According to Erikson, the key adolescent crisis involves the struggle between identity and role confusion. This stage, known as identity versus identity confusion, is a period during which individuals work to form a coherent sense of self and direction in life. Adolescents must navigate through exploring different roles and values to establish a stable identity.
This period is commonly known as an "identity crisis" where adolescents experience confusion and uncertainty about their sense of self, values, and beliefs. This phase is a crucial part of identity development and is often marked by questioning one's identity and experimenting with different roles and behaviors.
A psychosocial crisis, as described by Erik Erikson, is a critical stage of development in which an individual must navigate a specific conflict related to their social and emotional growth. Successfully resolving these crises leads to personal growth, while failure can lead to psychological challenges and difficulties.
The modern youth is influenced by the ideology of liberty,freedom,equality and believes in change which is in conflict with the traditional values that will not change in the rigid hierarchy and inequality in the global society and changing economy.With the impact of globalization and competitions the society denies the youth opportunities who faces scarcity,unemployment resulting in anxiety,despair,anger,powerlessness,self esteem , dignity and identity crisis.
