In Erikson's theory, the stage of ego integrity versus despair occurs in late adulthood, typically beginning around the age of 65. This stage involves reflecting on one's life and feeling a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment or a sense of regret and despair, depending on how successfully one has resolved earlier conflicts and achieved a sense of identity and purpose. The other stages listed (generativity versus stagnation, intimacy versus isolation, and trust versus mistrust) occur earlier in the lifespan.
