Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of ego integrity is related to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, which suggests that in late adulthood (ages 65 and older), individuals try to resolve the conflict between integrity and despair. According to the theory, those who have a sense of satisfaction with their life achievements and experience a sense of generativity during middle adulthood (ages 40-64), are more likely to resolve this conflict in favor of integrity. Therefore, midlife generativity is more likely to predict ego integrity in late adulthood than other factors such as college graduation, early retirement, or adolescent identity foreclosure.
