When Seuss is asked what she wants to do with her life, she says, “My parents really want me to be an author, so I’m going to be an author.” In doing so, Seuss is exhibiting which type of identity status, according to Marcia?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Marcia's theory categorizes four main points or stations descriptively along the identity development. In wich describes very different identity conditions, ranging from a diffuse and indeterminate individual identity to a precisely defined and highly specific individual identity.

The type of identity status shown by Seuss in her statement is:

Foreclosure Status

Explanation:

That is the second identity status; the identity foreclosure status. This identity status represents a low degree of exploration, but with a high degree of commitment.

Adolescents at this identity status  are not actively trying to determine what is important to them and there are not questioning the values and beliefs they have been taught.

These youth obtain their identity by accepting the beliefs and values of their family, community, and culture. In a way, they passively accept the identity assigned to them.

While they are committed to values and life goals assigned to them,  do not question why they should be, nor do they consider any alternatives
