Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erikson's theory of psychosocial development proposes that in the stage of middle adulthood (40-65 years), individuals strive to achieve a sense of generativity versus stagnation. This involves being productive and contributing to society, as well as nurturing and guiding the next generation. Therefore, the correct answer is A) generativity. Self-actualization (B) refers to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and maturation (C) and worthiness (D) are not directly related to Erikson's theory.
