James Marcia’s categories of identity:
4 major ways in which people cope with identity crises.
- Identity achievement
- foreclosure
- identity diffusion
- moratorium
James Marcia’s categories of identity: people may be classified into these 4 categories on the basis of 3 primary criteria.
- An individual experiences a major ?
- An individual is committed to ?
- Whether there is commitment to some set of ?
- Whether the individual experiences a major crisis during identity development.
- Whether the person expresses a commitment to some type of occupation
- Whether there is commitment to some set of values/beliefs
Marcia: After exploring alternatives the individual decides on a specific identity and career choice.
Identity achievement
Marcia: Individuals who form their identity by adult input rather than their own experimentation and conclusions. They never experience an identity crisis. Shut self off from opportunities to grow and change.
Foreclosure
Marcia: Individuals who are overwhelmed and confused about forming their identity and do little to achieve one. Have a lack of direction and decision making
Diffusion
Marcia: Individuals who have yet to form a satisfactory identity regarding career or personal values and are continuing to experiment. Have intense anxiety and have crucial unresolved issues.
Moratorium
A set of principles regarding what is right and what is wrong.
Morality
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development:
3 levels, 6 stages.
1st level: Moral decisions are based on external standards, age ?
preconventional or premoral level
age 4 to 10.
Kohlberg: Preconventional/premoral level
1st stage in this level (Stage 1) is based on?
avoiding punishment.
Children do what they are told in order to avoid negative consequences.
Kohlberg: Preconventional/premoral level
2nd stage in this level (Stage 2) focuses on “?” instead of “?”.
rewards instead of punishment
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development:
Level 2: moral thought is based on conforming to conventional roles. Age?
Conventional level
Ages 10 to 13.
Kohlberg’s theory: Conventional level (Level 2)
Stage 3 focuses on “?”
gaining the approval of others.
Kohlberg’s theory: Conventional level (Level 2)
Stage 4 focuses on “?”
the need to adhere to law = Authority-maintaining morality
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development:
Level 3: Developing a moral conscience that goes beyond what others say. True morality is achieved.
Postconventional level.
Kohlberg’s theory: Postconventional level (Level 3)
Stage 5:
Adhere to socially accepted laws and principles.
Law is good but subject to interpretation.
Kohlberg’s theory: Postconventional level (Level 3)
Stage 6: Ultimate attainment. During this stage, one becomes free of?”
the thoughts/opinions by others.
Criticism of Kohlberg’s theory:
- It emphasis on how people “?” as opposed to “?”
- ”?” biased
how people THINK as opposed to
what they do.
Culturally biased, mostly for men.
Kohlberg’s theory centers on “?” perspective and Gilligan’s theory says that women are more likely to adopt a “?” perspective.
Justice perspective Care perspective (women tend to view morality in terms of personal situations)
