Staying in identity diffusion in the late twenties keeps life on hold

• A model of identity development among individuals repeatedly assigned to the same identity status, with established commitments (identity achievement or foreclosure), was presented at the 2013 SRIF conference. Building upon these results new analyses were preformed, focusing on identity development among individuals assigned to the same uncommitted identity status (moratorium or identity diffusion) at two interview occasions, four years apart. Thematic analysis on summaries of differences and similarities between these individuals’ interview narratives from the two interview occasions resulted in expansion of the previously developed model. Additionally, the analysis identified processes that prevent and post-pone the making of identity commitments.
