Developmental Psychologist
Nicole Eckert, Danielle Danker, Ben Nass
Background~
Canadian Expanded on the Psychosocial Theory
work of Erikson Emeritus Professor of Psychology at
Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada
The Statuses~
1. Identity Foreclosure-2. Identity Diffusion-3. Identity Moratorium-4. Identity Achievement-
These are not sequential, but there is crisis and commitment to consider
The Critics say….
Marcia is criticized similarly to Erikson because an individual can be in any status at any given time.
Marcia has tried to blunt criticism by saying that one may belong to any status, but it does not necessarily mean that one cannot move from status to status.
How does this help teachers?
We could anticipate a possible changes in a child if they have experienced a crisis
We could be more understanding and tolerant if we knew a child’s past crisis’
We can be more influential in forming a child’s identity
