Abstract
This research aims to identify the identity statuses which mark the identity crisis of the main character in Gowda’s Secret Daughter, Asha, an Asian-Indian adolescent who lives in America with her adoptive mixed-race parents, to find out the impact of Asha’s identity crisis towards her sixth stage of psychosocial development, and to identify how the psychosocial issue is reflected in the novel. To answer the objectives, this research employed Erikson’s fifth and sixth psychosocial development stages theory, Marcia’s identity achievement status to strengthen the research, and theory of literary elements. The research is a qualitative research. To analyze the data, content analysis method was used. The main source of this research is a novel entitled Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. The data are words, phrases, sentences, and expressions related to the identity statuses which mark identity crisis, the impact of identity crisis towards the sixth stage of psychosocial development, and how the psychosocial issue is reflected.
