Ideally, during __________ of Erickson’s life stage model, people make an effort to guide and help establish the next generation.

a. Stage 6, Young adulthood

b.Stage 7, Middle Age

c. Stage 8, Old Age

d. Stage 5, Young adulthood

Solution

Ans- b.Stage 7, Middle Age.

During middle age the primary developmental task is one of contributing to society and helping to guide future generations. When a person makes a contribution during this period, perhaps by raising a family or working toward the betterment of society, a sense of generativity- a sense of productivity and accomplishment- results. In contrast, a person who is self-centered and unable or unwilling to help society move forward develops a feeling of stagnation- a dissatisfaction with the relative lack of productivity.

Care: generativity vs. stagnation (middle adulthood, 25–64, or 40–64 years)
