Erikson Describes the Crisis of Midlife as Generativity Versus Stagnation

Erikson describes the crisis of midlife as generativity versus stagnation, defining "generativity" in part as:

A) generating an identity apart from reproductive roles, as when a woman with children seeks to define herself in terms more than motherhood
B) generating a sense of industry by engaging in productive work
C) the generation of positive feelings when assessing one's life
D) concern for the next generation
