Erikson's final stage of psychosocial development is integrity vs despair. In this stage, individuals look back on their lives and either feel a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment (integrity) or regret and bitterness (despair). Inferiority and mistrust are stages from earlier in Erikson's model, and do not pertain to this question.
