identity foreclosure

In career studies, identity foreclosure refers to an early focus on a particular career, which excludes other possibilities that might be more suitable as a person's awareness of their interests and abilities develops.

Identity foreclosure is an outcome status within the processes as a part of identity formation.

For example, in recent years many students declare a psychology major in their first year. After accumulating a substantial amount of coursework, they may earn their degree or even pursue a graduate degree before acknowledging that their interests or abilities lie elsewhere.

 See identity formation for more details.
