Identity diffusion and the other identity statuses are an extension of Erik Erikson’s ideas about identity development during adolescence outlined in his stage theory of psychosocial development. Marcia created the statuses as a way to empirically test Erikson’s theoretical ideas. In Erikson’s stage theory, stage 5, which takes place during adolescence, is when people begin to form their identities. According to Erikson the central crisis of this stage is Identity vs. Role Confusion. It is a time when adolescents must figure out who they are and who they want to be in the future. If they don't, they may descend into confusion about their place in the world.
Marcia examined the formation of identity in terms of two dimensions: 1) whether the individual has gone through a decision-making period, referred to as a crisis, and 2) whether the individual has committed to particular occupational choices or ideological beliefs. Marcia’s focus on occupation and ideology, specifically, arose from Erikson’s proposal that one’s occupation and one’s commitment to particular values and beliefs are the fundamental parts of identity.
Since Marcia first proposed the identity statuses, they have been the subject of a great deal of research, especially with college student participants.

, que c'est une theorie,
que cet homme est psychanaliste , d'une pseudo science qui a bon dos donc,
que son fils est sociologue
c'est a dire dans le bon langage , un bon a rien qui se branle
et tout le monde ouvre les yeux quand on denigre les sciences sociales
qui n'ont que le terme de science pour le nom
