According to Erikson and Marcia, what exactly does it mean to have an "identity crisis"?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should first outline Erikson's notion of forming an identity and then
discuss the problems that result when identity remains unformed. Next, the answer should
describe Marcia's conceptualization of how an identity crisis results from the failure to resolve
issues related to personal goals and values and from a lack commitment. A strong answer will
offer an example of each of Marcia's identity stages.
