Ego integrity versus despair is the developmental stage of older adults.The quality associated with successful passage of this stage is to achieve a balance between integrity and despair."The process of bringing into balance feelings of integrity and despair involves a review of and a coming to terms with the life one has lived thus far." Based on the increasing life span, this stage of development was expanded into three additional stages: ego differentiation versus work role preoccupation, which involves achieving identity apart from work; body transcendence versus body preoccupation, which focuses on adjusting to normal aging changes; and ego transcendence versus ego preoccupation, which involves accepting death.Successfully navigating the stage of ego integrity versus despair requires that the individual accept normal bodily changes associated with aging, find meaning in life apart from work, accepts the inevitability of death, and is at peace with his or her life.Choices A, B, and D do not depict individuals who are transitioning well to their advancing years.
