Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, as one reaches the late stages of life (65+ years), the final stage of "Ego Integrity vs Despair" comes into play. This stage involves reflecting on one's life and feeling a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction (ego integrity) or feeling a sense of regret and despair (despair). One factor that can contribute to feelings of despair is a lack of connection to spirituality or religion. Therefore, Walter's lack of interest in these areas puts him at risk for experiencing despair during this stage of life.
