Esther is a college freshman and has already declared her major and planned out her entire 4-year schedule. She is committed to being a Doctor, even though she does not find her science classes to be entertaining or engaging. She always dreamed of being an artist, but her parents dismissed those ideas as childish and demanded that she become a doctor like her sister. She has never had the opportunity to think of any other possible career. James Marcia would say that Esther is likely experiencing identity: ________a) moratorium b) foreclosure c) achievement d) diffusion

Answer:

B) foreclosure

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not 100% sure but I would go with foreclosure cuz these commitments are based on parental ideas and beliefs (here esther is going pre-med cuz her parents want her to). Also, she has not explored other fields which further supports this answer choice.

Hope its right
