PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH2
PART A
Comparison and contrast between the Erikson’s generativity versus stagnation
stage with ego-integrity vs despair stage
The generativity vs. stagnation stage deals with middle adulthood and starts from 40’s
and continues to mid-60. In this stage the social task includes- geerativity vs stagnation. The
main question in this stage includes “how can I contribute to the world?” Individual answer this
question in either of the two ways- through generativity or stagnation. In case of geneartivity
people find ways of helping others such that they can create a mark on the world. On the other
hand, I case of stagnation, people tend to draw themselves apart from society as a whole and try
to be isolated from others (Branje & Koper, 2018). On the other hand, integrity and despair deals
with late adulthood starting from mid-60 are to the end of life. At this stage, people will either
develop a sense of integrity or despair. The sense of integrity is developed in an individual when
there is a sense of satisfaction in individual while reflecting on their lives and on the other hand,
the sense of despair arises when there is a sense of failure in individuals.
