Identity Statuses
According to our book, identity refers as the major personality achievement of adolescent and as a crucial step toward becoming a more productive, content adult. Constructing an identity involves defining who you are, what you value, and the direction you choose to pursue in life. (Berk, 2007). As the individual matures and grows they will eventually have a better understanding of their true identity.
There are four identity statuses, and everyone follows a different path when it comes to identity. One example would be identity achievement, this is when the individual has a clear understanding of what they have chosen in life, their values and goal are set and have a sense of direction of where they are going and pretty certain of their future.
