 Identifying Your Own Identity

WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT:Â Identifying Your Own Identity

Erikson is most famous for his adolescent stage, the stage he called Identity and

Identity Formation. Actually, Erikson believed that identity formation goes on all

of our lives, although he felt concern with formulating one’s identity is most

predominant during adolescence.

Using Erikson’s theory as a springboard, psychologist James Marcia talks about four

aspects of identity development (Selection 32 of your Classic Editions text). These

include:

Identity Achievement
Identity Foreclosure
Identity Moratorium
Identity Diffusion
Assignment:  Pick one area of identity formation in your own life.   Pick one

of the following areas: Â Â career/education, or religion, or political beliefs, or

sexual orientation. In this essay, tell how you have moved amongst the four

aspects of identity development that Marcia identified.  Include your entire

life from adolescence to the present, even if your chosen aspect of identity

formation has not changed since adolescence and/or even if you are in the life

stage of adolescence. Â If you have only moved through one, two or three of

Marcia’s four aspects, write about those that you have gone through. Then

explain why you didn’t go through Marcia’s other aspects. Your essay must

include information about identity achievement, foreclosure, moratorium and

diffusion.

This essay should 1000-1250 words long. Writing and citations should be in APA

format.
