Ego integrity refers to the feeling that one's life has been meaningful and fulfilling, especially in the later stages of life. It involves a sense of acceptance of one's life as a whole, including both successes and failures, and a feeling of contentment with one's accomplishments. Maintaining continuity in one's activity level (A) and expressing unselfish concern for the next generation (B) are both important aspects of generativity, another of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. Maintaining connectedness and intimacy with others (C) is important for developing a sense of intimacy in Erikson's earlier stage of development.
