Cooper and Grotevant propose that optimal identity development occurs in a family atmosphere that promotes both individuality and connectedness. Both factors are important in allowing individuals to develop their own sense of self while still feeling supported and connected to others. The other options, such as self-esteem and efficacy, crisis and commitment, and moratorium and foreclosure, may be important factors in identity development but are not specifically mentioned by Cooper and Grotevant as necessary for optimal development.
